Description:

Summarizes the current clinical and medical knowledge of diseases caused by a ubiquitous herpes virus that does not affect people with healthy immune systems, but among immunocompromised people, can cause developmental abnormalities, mental retardation, deafness, and even fatal diseases such as interstitial pneunomitis. The topics include sexual transmission; the role of cytomegalovirus infections in AIDS; diagnosis, treatment, and prevention; and molecular aspects. Addressed to virologists, molecular biologists, immunologists, and to physicians specializing in infectious diseases. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
