[Cytomegalovirus infections].

Résumé

Cytomegalovirus infections. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, which are common in children and adolescents, are often asymptomatic or with little specific signs. When they occur in adults, clinical forms may be more severe even in the immunocompetent. CMV is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in transplant patients. In pregnant women, congenital CMV infection can lead to neurosensory damages requiring diagnosis and early management. The diagnosis of primary infection is based on serology, whereas the monitoring of infection in immunocompromised patients requires the use of polymerase chain reaction. As screening for congenital infection by serology is not recommended so far, it will be realized in an evocative context. Therapeutic options are still limited and expose to haematological or renal toxicity, but new antivirals (maribavir, letermovir) should be available soon to optimize therapeutic management.
