Cytomegalovirus Infection: An Invisible Threat

Abstract

Natalie Duin

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a stealthy menace that often lurks unnoticed within our communities. Despite its relatively low profile in public discourse, CMV is a widespread and potentially serious health concern, particularly for vulnerable populations such as newborns, transplant recipients and individuals with weakened immune systems. Cytomegalovirus belongs to the herpesvirus family and is one of the most common viral pathogens infecting humans worldwide. It is estimated that a significant proportion of the global population is seropositive for CMV, indicating exposure to the virus at some point in life. CMV transmission primarily occurs through close contact with bodily fluids, including saliva, urine, blood and breast milk. Additionally, transmission can occur through organ transplantation, blood transfusion and vertical transmission from mother to fetus during pregnancy.
