In this episode, Shannon Jackson, The Peoples Nurse, will be joined by Sarah Streeval to discuss CMV and celebrate "Bella's Law "for National Cytomegalovirus (CMV) awareness month.
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus for people of all ages; however, a healthy person's immune system usually keeps the virus from causing illness.
- In the United States, nearly one in three children is already infected with CMV by age five. Over half of adults have been infected with CMV by age 40. Once CMV is in a person's body, it stays there for life and can reactivate. A person can also be re-infected with a different strain (variety) of the virus. Most people with CMV infection have no symptoms and aren't aware that they have been infected.
- Babies born with CMV can have brain, liver, spleen, lung, and growth problems. The most common long-term health problem in babies born with congenital CMV infection is hearing loss, which may be detected soon after birth or later in childhood.
