Infection in patients undergoing stem cell transplant[edit]

British guideline doi:10.1111/bjh.12363 JFW | T@lk 19:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First page shows some recommendations (eg ganciclovir), Don't seem to be able to see any more. - Rod57 (talk) 08:53, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which cells do the virus infect[edit]

Like the other herpes viruses, is there a particular cell that CMV infects and becomes latent in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.12.34.18 (talk) 19:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The virus becomes latent in lypmhocytes Mjbailey (talk) 00:05, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment section unclear[edit]

Putting CMV-IGIV first with its 3 bullet points seems to imply that it is much better treatment than the others mentioned - Is that so ? or should we remove the 3 bullet points or clarify which of them also apply to the other treatments. Some indication of how the choice between these treatments is made in different patients and countries would be helpful. - Rod57 (talk) 08:29, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What other phase II clinical studies[edit]

Only one listed as reporting in 2009 - What is happening to the other vaccines ? - Rod57 (talk) 08:41, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing known information about the biology of the virus[edit]

This article is focused on what we know about HCMV in terms of medicine. It needs to contain knowledge about the biology behind infection and replication within human cells. Mdslayton (talk) 06:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CMV in pregnancy[edit]

I did a quick literature search for a review of CMV in pregnancy and this was the best I found (open source). Can anybody find a better (more recent) one?
