Which cells do the virus infect

edit

Like the other herpes viruses, is there a particular cell that CMV infects and becomes latent in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.12.34.18 (talk) 19:34, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Treatment section unclear

edit

Putting CMV-IGIV first with its 3 bullet points seems to imply that it is much better treatment than the others mentioned - Is that so ? or should we remove the 3 bullet points or clarify which of them also apply to the other treatments. Some indication of how the choice between these treatments is made in different patients and countries would be helpful. - Rod57 (talk) 08:29, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

What other phase II clinical studies

edit

Only one listed as reporting in 2009 - What is happening to the other vaccines ? - Rod57 (talk) 08:41, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Missing known information about the biology of the virus

edit

This article is focused on what we know about HCMV in terms of medicine. It needs to contain knowledge about the biology behind infection and replication within human cells. Mdslayton (talk) 06:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

CMV in pregnancy

edit

I did a quick literature search for a review of CMV in pregnancy and this was the best I found (open source). Can anybody find a better (more recent) one?
