ABSTRACT
Nosocomial infections with cytomegalovirus are on area of great concern and controversy within the medical community. With the advent of organ transplantation there rave been an increased number of susceptible individuals. In the past most cases were confined to newborn nurseries and the neonatal intensive care unit. It is of great interested that recent evidence suggests that health care providers are at no greater risk of acquiring CMV infection inside the hospital setting when compared to a representative control group within the same community. This paper will review some of the literature that deals with the nosocomial transmission of CMV. We will try to emphasize transmission, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of CMV infection
