cytomegalovirus (CMV) [si″to-meg´ah-lo-vi″rus]

any of a subfamily of host-specific herpesviruses infecting humans, monkeys, and rodents, producing unique large cells with inclusion bodies. Opportunistic infection with this virus is common in immunocompromised individuals, causing clinical illnesses such as cytomegalovirus retinitis, pneumonia, esophagitis, colitis, adrenalitis, and hepatitis. It can also cause cytomegalic inclusion disease, a variety of gastrointestinal infections, and encephalitis. Most infections are mild in immunocompetent persons, but it has been associated with a syndrome called cytomegalovirus mononucleosis.
