Extractions: Infected adults occasionally develop a mononucleosis-like illness, which can include symptoms such as sore throat, fever, body aches and fatigue. CMV can cause serious illness, such as sight-threatening eye infections and pneumonia, in individuals with AIDS and other disorders of the immune system, and in organ-transplant recipients.

http://www.aidsmeds.com/OIs/CMV1.htm

Extractions: What Is It? Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, is a virus. It is a herpes virus, a family of viruses that also includes the varicella virus (responsible for chicken pox) and herpes simplex I (responsible for cold sores). Being infected with CMV is no reason to panic. CMV is only a threat when the immune system becomes damaged. If your T-cell count falls below 50, you're at a much greater risk of developing CMV disease, particularly CMV retinitis ( discussed below ). Anti-HIV therapies can help protect and repair the immune system. Additionally, preventative therapy (prophylaxis) is available to HIV-infected patients who are at risk of developing CMV disease. What is CMV disease? In HIV-infected people, CMV can cause disease in one or several parts of the body. These include: The Types of CMV Disease CMV Retinitis: CMV can cause damage to the back of the eye, or the retina. This can lead to blurred vision, blind spots or moving spots, and blindness. This is the most common type of CMV disease in people with HIV. While usually not life-threatening, problems seeing and blindness is usually permanent, even if treatment has been successful.

Normally, most peoples immune systems are able to fight the virus, preventing it from causing problems in their bodies. However, when the immune system is suppressed because of disease (HIV), organ or bone marrow transplant, or chemotherapy, the CMV virus can cause damage and disease to the eye and the rest of the body.

http://www.comeunity.com/adoption/health/cytomegalovirus.html

Extractions: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus found among people worldwide. Infection rates are higher and exposure to the virus occurs at an earlier age in developing countries, in lower socioeconomic groups in industrialized nations, and in Asian populations. In many underdeveloped countries, virtually all of the people have had CMV, while in the United States, only 40-50% of women in upper and middle socioeconomic groups have had the infection by the time they reach their child-bearing years. How does a person get CMV?

http://www.neuro.wustl.edu/narc/cyto.htm

Extractions: Neurologic AIDS Research Consortium Cytomegalovirus encephalitis and radiculomyelitis Cytomegalovirus is a frequent secondary viral infection in AIDS patients, causing retinitis in up to 40%. Autopsy studies indicate that as many as 20-30% of AIDS patients have CMV encephalitis pathologically, while probably almost 10% develop a clinical neurologic deterioration that is probably the result of CMV. There are two general neurologic syndromes which may occur separately, or in conjunction with each other. The first is the result of CMV attacking the spinal roots and cord resulting in a rapid loss of function of bladder, saddle anesthesia and legs weakness with variable degree of pain and paralysis. The CSF typically has an inflammatory pattern, and sometimes CMV can be cultured from the CSF. Evaluation of the CSF for CMV DNA reveals abundant viral DNA. Early and aggressive therapy for CMV can arrest this disorder, and variable gradual improvement may follow. The other presentation may mimic a more aggressive form of AIDS dementia complex, with symptoms of dementia developing over just a few weeks time, sometimes associated with cranial nerve abnormalities affecting vision, hearing and balance that would be unusual for HIV alone. The spinal fluid is often bland in this disorder, but CSF PCR for CMV DNA is positive, and strongly supports the diagnosis when such a clinical pattern is seen. This disorder is generally rapidly fatal over a period of just 4-8 weeks, but recent evidence suggests that very aggressive use of currently available CMV therapy may stabilize or reverse this disorder. Early diagnosis is facilitated through knowledge of the syndrome and widespread availability of CSF PCR testing capability.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is Cytomegalovirus infection? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral infection that rarely causes disease in healthy individuals. When it does cause disease, the symptoms vary depending on the patient's age and immune status. Who gets CMV infection? In the United States, approximately 1% of newborns are infected with CMV while growing in their mother's womb (congenital CMV infection). Many newborns however, will acquire CMV infection later by passage through an infected birth canal during the birth process or via infected breast milk (perinatal CMV infection). Children, especially those attending day-care centers, who have not previously been infected with CMV may become infected during the toddler or preschool years. Most people will have been infected with CMV by the time they reach puberty. How is CMV spread?

http://www.hivgum.demon.co.uk/mw2/infoex/cmv.html

Extractions: (CMV) Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the herpes family of viruses. CMV affects more than half of all adults but rarely causes significant disease unless there is damage to the bodys immune system. CMV usually infects healthy adults through close personal or sexual contact. After CMV infects a healthy person, the immune system prevents the virus spreading and causing disease but the virus is never eliminated form the body. How does it affect someone who is HIV positive? After HIV infection has damaged the immune system, the body may no longer be able to suppress CMV and the virus may go on to cause disease. CMV disease is rare in individuals with a CD4 count above 50. When it is below 50 however, CMV may cause retinitis in the eye, oesophagitis or colitis in the gut, and occasionally problems with the nervous system, liver or lungs. What are the signs and symptoms of CMV disease? The symptoms of CMV disease depend on the part of the body affected by the disease. Also, similar symptoms can be caused by other conditions. Early CMV retinitis often occurs without any symptoms, but if they are present people may experience:

Sponsor a 'Mate' Chronic Illness - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Degenerative Motor Neuron Disorders Degenerative Arthritis Case Study : Ms DB - Chronic fatigue, depression and pain "Tears but these tears were of relief, not from depression, fatigue, confusion or the exhaustion of living with pain, but as my referring doctor said 'an end to a nightmare I had been living, for the past 16 years'. Results from blood tests performed in an American laboratory confirmed that I had been suffering complications from a single celled parasite which was located in my stomach. Apparently, the parasite lives off gut secretions so I wasn't gaining full benefits from the food I was eating. Six months of treatment I began to slowly improve. My referring doctor informed me that it would probably take at least 12-18 months before my body would fully recover. Unfortunately, this recovery period did not seem to apply to my situation. I was informed that the parasites had caused release of harmful toxins into my system, which caused major imbalance affecting both my physical and mental well-being. Depression complicated by incessant emotional highs and low caused me to be up and down like a roller coaster ride. Depression and exhaustion would trigger major mood swings, emotional intolerance, sudden uncontrollable crying, neck pains and rigidity of my spine. I would gain temporary relief with the help of chiropractic and physiotherapy usually requiring some form of treatment every 3-4 days and on many occasions daily treatments were required. This cycle of depression and spinal pain continued for over 12 years. If I didn't perform stretching exercises at least 3 times every day, I would quickly collapse into stiffness, uncontrollable pain and depression.
