| CMV | Cytomegalovirus infection |
| CMVR | Cytomegalovirus retinitis |
| cytomegalovirus | <virology> Probably the most widespread of the Herpetoviridae group. Infected cells enlarge and have a characteristic inclusion body (composed of virus particles) in the nucleus. Causes disease only in utero (leading to abortion or stillbirth or to various congenital defects), although can be opportunistic in the immunocompromised host. Patients who have been exposed to the virus will remain cytomegalovirus IgG positive. Acronym: CMV (30 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| cytomegalovirus disease | <disease> An illness in newborns caused by viral infection, symptoms includefever, cellular enlargement, microscopically-visible clumps of viralparticles or proteins in the cytoplasm and nuclei of affected cells, enlargementof the spleen and liver. Long-term effects of the disease may includemental retardation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytomegalovirus infections | Infection with cytomegalovirus, characterised by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytomegalovirus polyradiculopathy | <neurology, pathology> Cytomegalovirus infection of the peripheral nerves and the spinal roots leading to generalised weakness and paralysis. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (09 Oct 1997) |
| cytomegalovirus retinitis | <pathology> A complication of disseminated cytomegalovirus infection in the immunocompromised individual (for example AIDS). Severe inflammatory changes in the retina result in blindness. Treatments include antiviral agents like foscarnet and gancyclovir. (27 Sep 1997) |
| human cytomegalovirus | <virology> A group of viruses within the subfamily Cytomegalovirus (Betaherpesvirinae) (of the family Herpesviridae) which infects human beings. (09 Oct 1997) |
| alcoholic encephalopathy | <neurology> Encephalopathy associated with thiamin deficiency. Usually associated with chronic alcohol abuse. Other features include loss of memory and confabulation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| bilirubin encephalopathy | <paediatrics> Disorder due to jaundice in a newborn baby with high blood levels of the pigment bilirubin that is deposited in the brain resulting in damage. The level of bilirubin is monitored in newborns to determine whether treatment is needed to prevent kernicterus. With brain affected, it is also called bilirubin encephalopathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Binswanger's encephalopathy | One of the causes of multiinfarct dementia, in which there are many infarcts and lacunes in the white matter, with relative sparing of the cortex and basal ganglia. Synonym: Binswanger's encephalopathy, encephalitis subcorticalis chronica, subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bovine spongiform encephalopathy | A new disease of cattle, first reported in 1986 in Great Britain, characterised clinically by apprehensive behaviour, hyperesthesia, and ataxia and histopathologically by spongiform changes in the gray-matter neuropil of the brain stem; it is thought to be caused by an agent, possibly a prion, similar to that observed as the cause of scrapie. Synonym: mad cow disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palindromic encephalopathy | A relatively mild form which tends to recur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic encephalopathy | A metabolic encephalopathy associated with extensive pancreatic necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent encephalopathy | A progressive form of encephalopathy occurring in young members of the same family; characterised by headache, vertigo, truncal ataxia, drowsiness and stupor, speech impairments, choreic-athetoid movements, and sometimes convulsions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolic encephalopathy | Encephalopathy characterised by memory loss, vertigo, and generalised weakness, due to metabolic brain disease including hypoxia, ischemia, hypoglycaemia, or secondary to other organ failure such as liver or kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy | See: Wernicke's syndrome, Korsakoff's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
