CMV: I am not sure what specific portion of the body you are inquiring about but in the eye is can cause retinal pathology (retinitis), inflammation of the colored parts of the eye (uveitis), inflammation in the cornea (interstitial keratitis), vitritis, and other problems. If can also affect other parts of the body especially if the patient is immunocompromised.
