VALDES CABRERA, Francisco et al. Cytomegalovirus infection in HIV/ aids patients. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.2, pp.113-126. ISSN 0864-0289.

The cytomegalovirus (CMV) is considered a common opportunist microorganism among individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the causal agent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (Aids). The main consequence of the persistent transduction of HIV is the gradual reduction of the number of T cells CD4+, which eventually causes loss of immunologic competition. This human virus belongs to the family of herpes virus and frequently produces diseases mainly in different organs when the T CD4+ count is very low.

Keywords : pneumonia; cytomegalovirus; VIH; Aids.
