Hiv disease resulting in cytomegaloviral disease - what does this mean
Human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) weakens the immune system, making it more prone to infections. cytomegaloviral disease is one of the most common opportunistic infections that can occur in people with hiv. it is caused by the cytomegalovirus, which is a member of the herpes virus family. the virus is spread through bodily fluids, such as saliva, urine, and blood, and can cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes, and enlarged liver and spleen.
What happens during the disease - hiv disease resulting in cytomegaloviral disease
The hiv virus attacks the immune system, weakening it and making it less able to fight off other infections. this can lead to a weakened immune system allowing cytomegalovirus (cmv) to infect the body, leading to cytomegaloviral disease. the virus can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can be fatal if left untreated.
