B25.8: Other cytomegaloviral diseases

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a viral infection that can cause a variety of health problems under the classification of "Other cytomegaloviral diseases." These conditions are caused by the cytomegalovirus, a widespread virus that can be transmitted through close contact with body fluids, including saliva, urine, blood, and sexual contact. Some people with this disease may not have any noticeable symptoms at first, while others could experience fever, sore throat, fatigue, and swollen glands. In severe cases, CMV can affect a person's eyes, lungs, liver, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, leading to complications such as pneumonia, hepatitis, or gastrointestinal ulcers. The progression of the disease depends on the individual's immune system, as this virus tends to become more severe in individuals with weakened immunity.
