Cytomegalovirus
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common herpes-type virus that can cause fever, chills, sore throat, swollen glands, body aches, and fatigue. Symptoms are similar to those of an Epstein-Barr viral infection, which is the primary cause of mononucleosis (mono).
CMV can be spread through saliva, infected blood products, and sexual contact with an infected person.
Normally, healthy people have few, if any, symptoms.
