What happens during the disease - cytomegaloviral pneumonitis
Cytomegaloviral pneumonitis is caused by the cytomegalovirus (cmv) which is a type of herpes virus. the virus is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids such as saliva, urine, and blood. once the virus enters the body, it can cause an infection in the lungs resulting in inflammation and damage to the airways. this inflammation can cause symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. it can also lead to serious complications such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and respiratory failure.
