Overview
In most patients, primary infection with CMV presents with a mononucleosis like presentation. Patients with immunosuppression have symptoms related to the affected organ system. Retinitis presents with blurred vision and floaters. Colitis presents with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Pneumonitis is usually asymptomatic. Neurologic infection presents with altered mental status and focal neurological deficits.
History and Symptoms
Presentation of patients with CMV infection differs with the organ system involved and is as follows: [1][2][3]
CMV Retintis
- Peripheral retinitis can be asymptomatic or present with the following symptoms:
- Floaters
- Scotomata
- Peripheral visual field defects
- Central retinal lesions or lesions impinging on the macula or optic nerve are result in decreased visual acuity and central field defects.
CMV Colitis
Colitis presents with the following symptoms:
- Weight loss
- Anorexia
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Malaise
- Patients with perforation of the bowel present with acute abdominal pain.
CMV Esophagitis
Patients with cytomegalovirus esophagitis present with symptoms of:[4][5]
- Odynophagia
- Nausea
- Mid-epigastric or retrosternal discomfort
- Fever
CMV Encephalitis
Patients with cytomegalovirus encephalitis presents with:[6]
CMV Ventriculoencephalitis
Patients with cytomegalovirus ventricluloencephalitis present:[7]
- Acute onset of symptoms with focal neurological deficits
- Cranial nerve palsies
- Nystagmus
- Rapid progression to death
CMV Polyradiculomyelopathy
Patients with cytomegalovirus polyradiculomyelopathy present with features similar to Guillian Barre Syndrome and have symptoms such as:[8]
- Bladder incontinence
- Paraplegia with gradual worsening of symptoms over weeks
