Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus in the same family as herpesvirus, also known as HCMV (herpes cytomegalovirus) or CMV or HHV-5-human beta herpesvirus 5.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Cytomegalovirus or CMV, is a virus that belongs to the Herpesviridae family, hence its older name, “human herpesvirus 5 (HHV 5)”. Other members of this family include herpes simplex viruses (which cause cold sores and genital herpes), varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox and shingles), and Epstein-Barr virus (which causes infectious mononucleosis, also known as “mono”).
After primary infection, this group of viruses can infect many-body systems and remain dormant in those cells for life. This is called “latent” infection. Latent infection can “reactivate” later in life to cause disease again.
Primary infection with Cytomegalovirus is common and may be asymptomatic. Primary CMV is one of the common causes of mononucleosis, or flu-like syndrome, including fever, fatigue, tiredness, malaise, and other symptoms. Primary infection with CMV has been referred to as “heterophile-negative” mononucleosis because it causes an illness similar to the Epstein-Barr virus, but the results of the heterophile antibody test for EBV will be negative.
CMV infection occurs in people of all ages worldwide. Experts estimate that more than half of the adult population throughout the world has been infected with CMV, and 80% of adults have had the infection by the time they are 40 years old. About one in 150 children is born with CMV infection (congenital cytomegalovirus).
About 30% women have infants with congenital cytomegalovirus infection (pass it to the baby when their latent CMV reactivates, becomes active in the blood during pregnancy).
Congenital cytomegalovirus infection causes more complications the earlier in pregnancy that the virus is passed from the mother. About 10%-15% of babies with it will have symptoms at birth, and up to 60% of these will have serious complications later in life.
Of babies who are infected but born without symptoms of cytomegalovirus, some may develop deafness in the months after birth. Although infections are the minority of cases of miscarriage or pregnancy loss, cytomegalovirus is the leading infection to cause miscarriages (a marking sign for Homeopaths).
According to allopathic theory, most healthy people do not experience any symptoms when infected with CMV, and it does not pose a serious health concern.
Although Homeopaths thinks that cytomegalovirus radiates/moves to other/inner organs to make their colonies more deeper where they are more dangerous and hazardous to human health; that’s why cytomegalovirus should be treated in first chance/early stages.
Incubation period for cytomegalovirus
The incubation period between the time of getting the virus and the time that symptoms develop ranges from three to 12 weeks in cases of documented CMV infection after a transfusion of infected blood. CMV infection is usually benign, and there is no public health or medical reason to screen for it routinely. In addition, CMV may be shed intermittently for a very long time. This makes it difficult to say what the incubation period maybe with the commoner forms of transmission, such as contact with saliva, urine, and genital fluids.
People at risk
Most healthy children and adults who do have symptoms will recover from CMV infection without complications and do not require antiviral treatment, Because a majority of adults have antibodies consistent with past infection.
However, in those with a weakened immune system, Cytomegalovirus can cause serious diseases for example: retinitis, hepatitis, colitis, pneumonia, or encephalitis etc.
Infants born to mothers infected with Cytomegalovirus during pregnancy may develop congenital Cytomegalovirus infection.
Cytomegalovirus Symptom
Fever
Fever. A feverish sensation, however, may occur when the body temperature is above the average normal of 98.6 degrees F. (37 degrees C).
Fever is part of the body’s own disease-fighting arsenal (immune system). Rising body temperatures apparently are capable of killing off many disease-producing organisms. For that reason, low fevers (102 or less) should normally go untreated. Although, if the fever is accompanied by any other troubling symptoms, patient should be treated certainly.
What causes cytomegalovirus infection?
Cytomegalovirus spreads by direct contact with body fluids, such as saliva, blood, urine, semen, vaginal fluids, congenital infection, and breast milk. Thus, breastfeeding, blood transfusions, organ transplants, maternal infection, and sexual contact are possible modes of transmission, direct contact with body fluids from an infected person.
Most healthy children and adults do not experience any symptoms after infection with cytomegalovirus. However, cytomegalovirus may cause serious disease in people with a weakened immune system (such as those with HIV/AIDS or those taking medications that suppress immunity). cytomegalovirus can cause retinitis (blurred vision and blindness), painful swallowing (dysphagia), pneumonia, diarrhea (colitis), and weakness or numbness in the legs.
What types of disease does reactivation of latent cytomegalovirus?
Latent cytomegalovirus infection only rarely reactivates in healthy adults. Adults at risk for life-threatening reactivation with CMV disease include those who are immunosuppressed due to advanced HIV disease, those who receive intensive chemotherapy or immune-suppressing drugs, or those who receive organ or bone marrow transplants.
There is increasing evidence from both animal and human studies that cytomegalovirus-induced inflammation in blood vessels may play a role in atherosclerosis, or “hardening of the arteries.” Atherosclerosis may cause heart disease and stroke. Ischemic heart disease has been observed to occur more often in human and animal organ transplant recipients with CMV.
Ulcerative colitis (UC), which is a condition that may require anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs. Some studies have found cytomegalovirus in the colon tissue of up to 40% of those with severe ulcerative colitis that is not responding to corticosteroid anti-inflammatory treatment. People with steroid-resistant ulcerative colitis may need colectomy (total removal of the colon).
It is not clear whether cytomegalovirus is an innocent bystander in those with ulcerative colitis, although there is some evidence antiviral treatment may reduce colectomy in steroid-resistant cases. In these cases, cytomegalovirus is found in high quantity: cytomegalovirus DNA detected by PCR is often > 250 copies/mg of tissue’
And that is the point Homeopaths want to explain to allopathic researchers.

Type of cytomegalovirus disease, associated with HIV
In those with HIV/AIDS, cytomegalovirus most often reactivates when the T cell count (T helper cells, or:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/thrush_candidiasis-569fdec33df78cafda9eb289.jpg)
CD4 cells) drops below 50 cells/microL. One of the most common types of cytomegalovirus disease in people with advanced HIV/AIDS is cytomegalovirus retinitis, which may cause permanent blindness. Once
Highly active allopathic antiretroviral therapy (HAART, or ART) was introduced in 1996, the incidence of cytomegalovirus retinitis dropped by almost 90% but with too many and severe side effects. However, people still develop cytomegalovirus. Because many are not able to tolerate ART or develop resistance, or simply do not adhere to treatment.
Cytomegalovirus retinitis is a marker for 60% increased overall mortality in patients with HIV. For those whose T cell count remains low, overall mortality is 100%. In those whose T cells are under 100/microL, a dilated eye exam is recommended every six months for cytomegalovirus; if T cells are under 50/microL, screening should occur every three months. Cytomegalovirus reactivation in these patients is not limited to the eye and may be difficult to diagnose. Other manifestations of cytomegalovirus in advanced HIV disease include encephalitis, peripheral nerve damage, and disease of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagitis, enteritis, or colitis).
What type of cytomegalovirus disease occurs in transplant recipients?
In organ and marrow transplant recipients, cytomegalovirus is a common cause of disease. Bone marrow recipients require more intensive chemotherapy and immune suppression for both cure of the disease in patients requiring the transplant and to prevent rejection of the new bone marrow. They are thus at greater risk of serious cytomegalovirus disease than are other organ recipients.
The likelihood of cytomegalovirus disease in solid organ transplants ranges from 10%-30% depending on the type of organ, the level of immunosuppression, and “cytomegalovirus mismatch”. In bone marrow transplants, allogeneic (another person as donor) transplants have a 30% likelihood of cytomegalovirus disease, while autologous (self as donor) transplants have a 5% likelihood. Transplant recipients are screened for the presence of cytomegalovirus-specific antibodies, which indicate whether they have a latent infection (seropositive) or have never had it (seronegative).
Cytomegalovirus may cause acute primary disease if the recipient never had cytomegalovirus and acquires it after transplantation. The acute primary disease may also occur if the recipient is “cytomegalovirus-seronegative” and the transplanted tissue or marrow contains latent cytomegalovirus (the donor was “cytomegalovirus-seropositive”). Cytomegalovirus-positive to cytomegalovirus-negative transplantation may be referred to as “cytomegalovirus mismatch” or “cytomegalovirus D+/R-.” A cytomegalovirus-positive recipient’s latent cytomegalovirus may reactivate during the first three to six months of intensive immunosuppression therapy.
Cytomegalovirus may cause either a viral syndrome or tissue invasive disease in these patients. Cytomegalovirus syndrome occurs within the first four months and includes fever, malaise, and upper gastrointestinal pain most commonly. Less often, diarrhea (enterocolitis) may occur. Suppression of bone marrow with decreased white blood cells (leukopenia) and platelets is common. Elevated liver enzymes (hepatitis) may occur, as well. Tissue invasive disease may include cytomegalovirus pneumonia, which can be severe. Unlike HIV, cytomegalovirus neurologic disease and retinitis are very unlikely in the transplant setting.
Cytomegalovirus also has been associated with ischemic heart disease in organ transplant recipients.
Donor blood and organs are screened for CMV antibodies as part of the donor screening process. Screening and antiviral therapy (for prevention or treatment of active disease) may be necessary after CMV D+/R- transplantation. Screening for CMV is performed by regular testing for CMV DNA in the blood. While CMV may be found in the blood even without active infection, its presence in these patients, especially with a rising trend, suggests active infection. If the invasive disease is suspected, CMV DNA can be sought in lung fluid (pneumonia), and tissue can be stained for the cytomegalovirus virus. Cytomegalovirus can often be detected in tissue by the way the virus particles (inclusion bodies) give cells a characteristic “owl eye” appearance.
Symptoms
Most people infected with cytomegalovirus do not report a history of symptoms or complications and do not recall any contact with an infected person, so most people are unaware they have been infected. Acute CMV infection may mimic flu or infectious mononucleosis caused by Epstein-Barr virus or liver infection by hepatitis A, B, or C. Mono-like symptoms may include fever, malaise (feeling
unwell), enlarged lymph nodes, sore throat, muscle aches, loss of appetite, enlarged liver or spleen, and fatigue. Hepatitis-like symptoms and signs may include appetite loss, yellow eyes (jaundice), nausea, and diarrhea.
In people with suppressed immune systems, cytomegalovirus infection can attack different organs of the body and may cause blurred vision and blindness (cytomegalovirus retinitis), lung infection (pneumonia), painful swallowing (esophagitis), diarrhea (colitis), inflammation of the liver (hepatitis), or inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), which may cause behavioral changes, seizures, or coma.
Infants with congenital cytomegalovirus infection have no symptoms at birth, however, up to 20% of those without symptoms at birth will go on to develop deafness. Only about 10% of infants with congenital cytomegalovirus show signs and symptoms of the infection or develop complications. Other symptoms of cytomegalovirus at birth may include yellow skin, and eyes (jaundice), skin rash, premature birth, low birth weight, pneumonia, enlarged liver and spleen, microcephaly, or seizures.
What specialists treat cytomegalovirus infections?
Specialists usually become involved in the care of complicated cases of cytomegalovirus or when preventive treatment is needed. Most complicated cases are in individuals who have weakened immune systems, usually due to HIV, cancer chemotherapy, or bone and organ transplantation. Because cytomegalovirus may affect any organ system, multiple specialists may take part in the management, such as gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, oncologist, pediatric, ophthalmologist etc.
An infectious-disease specialist is often consulted as part of the care team to assist with monitoring, preventive antivirals, diagnosis, or treatment of active infection. Pediatric infectious-disease specialists may manage the care of infants with congenital cytomegalovirus.
Diagnosis
Most cytomegalovirus infections go undiagnosed because the virus usually causes little or no symptoms. When a person is infected with cytomegalovirus, antibodies (IgM and/or IgG) develop and stay in the body for the rest of the person’s life. A blood test to detect the antibodies will be positive if the person has had a cytomegalovirus infection. If the antibody test is negative, the person is considered to be un-infected with cytomegalovirus.
If a “definitive” diagnosis of active cytomegalovirus infection is necessary, the virus can be found in bodily fluids (such as blood, saliva, or urine) or body tissues by culturing the virus or detecting its DNA or specific protein called pp65 antigen by PCR tests.
These tests are done if a person has signs and symptoms consistent with an active cytomegalovirus infection. The virus can become reactivated from its latent state (latent infection) when a person’s immune system has weakened. Tissue biopsy of affected body systems may sometimes show clumps of cytomegalovirus in the cells, called “inclusion bodies.” Cytomegalovirus inclusion bodies make the infected cell look like an “owl’s eye” under the microscope.
These tests may be done if a woman develops symptoms of cytomegalovirus infection during pregnancy in order to provide counseling and possible treatment for congenital cytomegalovirus. They may also be done to diagnose a congenital cytomegalovirus infection; if cytomegalovirus is detected in a newborn’s urine, saliva, blood, or other body tissues within two to three weeks after birth.
Allopathic treatment for cytomegalovirus infection
There is no allopathic cure for cytomegalovirus. Those at very high risk of developing severe cytomegalovirus infection may be placed on prophylactic antiviral medication to help prevent cytomegalovirus disease, to somehow reduce the number of cytomegalovirus infections in these patients.
The allopathic antiviral medications against cytomegalovirus include the following:
- Ganciclovir is the drug of choice, because its first allopathic antiviral medication approved for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection. Ganciclovir, given intravenously. Side effects include fever, rash, diarrhea, anemia, and low white blood cell and platelet counts.
- Valganciclovir is an oral medication that is activated to ganciclovir in the body and is widely used to prevent cytomegalovirus infection (prophylaxis). It is used in selected patients for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection and is as effective as intravenous ganciclovir in milder cases.
- Foscarnet is active against cytomegalovirus by a different mechanism than ganciclovir and is used to treat infections with cytomegalovirus that are resistant to ganciclovir. It is a second-line therapy for patients who do not tolerate ganciclovir treatment. Foscarnet is severe toxic to the kidneys and can cause seizures due to an imbalance of minerals and electrolytes.
- Cidofovir is another drug for patients who have failed ganciclovir and foscarnet treatment. Its use is limited due to its severe toxicity to the kidneys. It is used mainly for the treatment of cytomegalovirus infection of the eye (retinitis) in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- Cytomegalovirus immune globulin contains antibodies (proteins) that are specific to cytomegalovirus. It may be prescribed to prevent cytomegalovirus infection in high-risk lung transplant patients when given in addition to ganciclovir. It is also used with ganciclovir to treat cytomegalovirus pneumonia.
No any allopathic antiviral drug is currently available for the prevention of congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
Homeopathic Treatment for Cytomegalovirus and it’s complications
With Homeopathic medicines cytomegalovirus is completely curable in very short time period (10-30 days – individual). The symptoms listed against each medicine may not be directly related to cytomegalovirus because in homeopathy general symptoms and constitutional indications are taken into account for selecting a remedy.

Prognosis of cytomegalovirus infection
Fatigue may last for several months after the asymptomatic infection is over; but will disappear along with Homeopathic treatment in few days; prognosis with allopathic treatment depends on how severe the cytomegalovirus infection is and the person’s underlying immune system.
Approximately one in five infants born with cytomegalovirus infection will have permanent hearing loss, blindness and developmental disabilities.
Children diagnosed with congenital cytomegalovirus infection should have regular vision and hearing screenings and Homeopathic treatment can improve outcomes.
Complications of cytomegalovirus infection?
Cytomegalovirus rarely causes complications if treated with Homeopathy. In case of allopathic treatment, the risk of complications is higher in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Cytomegalovirus can infect the stomach and intestines, causing fever, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, and inflammation of the colon (colitis). Inflammation can also occur in the liver (hepatitis), lung (pneumonitis), and brain (encephalitis). Infection in the eye (retinitis) can cause blindness. Newborns with congenital cytomegalovirus infection can develop hearing and vision loss, mental disability, and seizures.
Along with influenza viruses, Campylobacter, and other pathogens, cytomegalovirus is one of the infections associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
It is not possible to prevent cytomegalovirus infection with any allopathic drug. However, allopathic researchers are studying experimental vaccines on humans. It may be a number of years before there is a approved cytomegalovirus allopathic vaccine.
