umm, hold on there., you mean you got CMV not TOOK CMV right ? And how can you get it ? Should not the rings have protected you from this in the first place ? Unless you already were infected ? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the herpes family. Related viruses include Epstein-Barr (causes glandular fever), varicella-zoster (causes chicken pox) and herpes simplex (causes cold sores). This viral infection can be spread through coughing, contact with blood, urine or faeces, or via the mucous membranes such as those of the mouth and genitals. In Australia, about 50 per cent of young adults have been infected. In healthy people, CMV infection causes nothing more than a flu-like illness that lasts a few days. In certain people, including transplant patients and pregnant women, the effects can be much more serious. Many organs can be targeted CMV can infect virtually any organ of the human body. The most common organs include the blood, brain, colon, eye, heart, kidney, liver, lung and stomach. In the case of an organ transplant patient, the symptoms of CMV can be easily confused with rejection. The symptoms vary according to which organ is infected, but generally a person with CMV will experience lethargy, a high temperature and a drop in white blood cell levels. For most people a CMV infection poses no real health threat. The symptoms are generally mild and flu-like, although some may feel unwell for a few weeks, rather than a few days. A few people experience no symptoms. CMV infection is permanent Once you have contracted CMV, you carry it for life. This is because the virus lies dormant inside the body and may or may not reactivate itself at any time.
