Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus in the Herpesviridae family, infects approximately half of all adults in the United States, most of whom experience mild or no symptoms. While the virus usually remains latent in the body, CMV reactivation is more prevalent in immunocompromised individuals, including people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Individuals with IBD are more susceptible to CMV reactivation because of chronic gut inflammation and the use of immunosuppressive medications.
