Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a well-known and ubiquitous virus that causes damage in pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and babies in the nursery. It is a direct transmission through biologic liquids, asymptomatic in most cases, sometimes with a mononucleosis-like syndrome. It can be diagnosed using a serologic, or much better, a PCR test. Two cases of primary CMV infections are discussed and linked to probable sexual transmission.
