- CMV: dsDNA herpesvirus, β-subfamily, largest genome
- Universal latent (50-90% adults); monocyte/macrophage latency
- Primary: asymptomatic mostly; CMV mono (older, monospot neg, hepatitis-dominant)
- Congenital CMV: #1 infectious birth defects + #1 non-genetic SNHL
- Immunocompromise: retinitis (HIV CD4 < 50), colitis, esophagitis, pneumonia, encephalitis
- Transplant: D+/R- highest risk; HSCT prophylaxis letermovir (no marrow toxic)
- Dx: PCR (gold standard), tissue + IHC (owlâs eye), serology
- Treatment:
- Ganciclovir/valganciclovir (myelosuppression)
- Foscarnet (nephro + electrolyte)
- Letermovir (terminase, no marrow toxic, HSCT prophylaxis)
- Maribavir (UL97 kinase, refractory/resistant, dysgeusia)
- Symptomatic congenital: valganciclovir à 6 mo
- Owlâs eye intranuclear inclusion = CMV pathognomonic on histology
- Pregnancy hygiene (toddler saliva avoidance) = primary prevention
- 2024: letermovir for SOT prophylaxis expanding; maribavir for refractory
