| Response from Dr. Young
 Dr. Booyens, Thanks for your post and questions. Cytomegalovirus is a common infectious complication among persons with advanced immunosuppression, including HIV/AIDS. Among HIV-infected persons, CMV can cause end-organ disease of the retina, brain and colon (among other sites). Fortunately, CMV is less common today in the high-income countries as it was before effective HIV treatment. There is a wealth of information on CMV. Here's the link to TheBody.com's CMV resources list. I hope that this is helpful. BY | ||||||||
