CMV

[Hilbert Leslie]

At one time I worked in a cardiac transplant unit in nutrition support.  
One of the common infections after transplantation was CMV.  Since that 
time some of the other nutrition techs I worked with have come down with 
"chronic fatigue syndrome" and blame it on CMV exposure, and some of them 
claim to have been tested and to show antibodies (ie, past exposure or 
infection).  So, is there any implication of being exposed to CMV if 
there was no symptoms a the time?  I kind of think they are full of it 
and hoping to get some time off (workers comp, etc.)
PS: Why did they get CMV in the first place?  Was it the 
immuno-suppresion drugs?
