Cytomegalic inclusion disease: intrauterine sonographic diagnosis using findings involving the brain.
Two second-trimester cases and one third-trimester case of intrauterine cytomegalic inclusion disease (CID) are presented, each having a different intracranial sonographic presentation. The findings are correlated with radiographic studies and the known pathophysiology. Sonographic evidence of intrauterine cerebral necrosis or calcification should alert one to the possibility of CID, particular...
متن کاملCytomegalic Inclusion Disease
Cytomegalovirus infection was believed for sixty years to be caused by an infectious agent. However, the virus causation of cytomegalovirus infection was not established until 1956 when Smith isolated inclusion-producing virus from the salivary gland of a seven month old infant dying of adrenal carcinoma and from renal tissue of a second infant dying of cytomegalic inclusion disease. Before thi...

Most intrauterine infections are acquired through the placenta, although transvaginal bacterial infections may also occur. The TORCH eponym remains a good reminder for these entities, identifying toxoplasmosis, others, rubella, cytomegalic virus, and herpes simplex. A second H for HlV or perhaps the words A (AIDS) TORCH should now be used, as AIDS becomes the most common maternally transmitted ...
متن کاملPulmonary cytomegalic inclusion-body disease in a diabetic.
Cytomegalic inclusion-body disease was found at necropsy in the lungs of a 57-year-old diabetic man. The characteristic large cells were found in all parts of the lungs. The alveolar walls showed no cellular infiltration, supporting Hamperl's suggestion that the cytomegalic virus alone may be incapable of causing pneumonitis. A small focus of aspergillosis was also found in one lung. The rarity...
