Duration of murine neutrophil migration impairments after cytomegalovirus infection.
After CMV infection, significant reduction in directed neutrophil migration persisted through 21 days; reduction of random migration persisted through 14 days. The duration of these defects coincide with other immune derangements and increased susceptibility to lethal bacterial infections.
