| cytomegalic inclusion d. |
any of a group of diseases caused by cytomegalovirus infection, marked by characteristic inclusion bodies in enlarged infected cells. The classic disease is congenital, being acquired in utero from the mother; infection can also be transmitted from mother to infant in passage through the birth canal or from ingestion of virus in the mother's milk. Most infected infants are asymptomatic, but in some there may be hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, chorioretinitis, purpura, microcephaly, cerebral calcifications, and severe central nervous system sequelae with blindness, deafness, quadriplegia, and mental retardation. Acquired disease is transmitted via respiratory droplets, tissue or blood donation, or sexual contact. The group also includes cytomegalovirus mononucleosis; in immunocompromised patients there may be a disseminated, sometimes fatal, infection as well as specific syndromes such as cytomegalovirus encephalitis, cytomegalovirus pneumonia, or cytomegalovirus retinitis.
