Article Excerpts about Cytomegalic Inclusion Body Disease
Cytomegalic inclusion
body disease (CIBD) is caused by infection from the cytomegalic virus
(CMV), a type of herpes virus that can lie dormant after initial infection
and then reactivate periodically throughout life. The virus causes
enlargement of cells of some organs and the development of inclusion
bodies- discrete masses of cellular material-in the cytoplasm or nucleus
of these cells.
