Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous virus whose
sole host is humans. Since HCMV can contagion from person
to person through numerous ways, vast populations of humans
are infected. HCMV infections can potentially have a range
from asymptomatic infection in immuno-competent hosts to
life-threatening diseases in organ recipients and patients with
AIDS. The present article reviews the occurrence of HCMV
infections and diseases in humans with different physiological
and immunological status, and evaluates the existing laboratory
methods for diagnosis of the disease.
