What Does CMV Stand For?
CMV stands for Cytomegalovirus
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus belonging to the herpesvirus family. It typically remains dormant in the body after initial infection and can reactivate without causing symptoms in healthy individuals. However, CMV can lead to serious health complications in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients, or newborns infected during pregnancy. Monitoring and management of CMV are crucial in clinical settings to prevent its reactivation and associated health risks.
