[Morphological fibroblastic changes in cytomegalovirus infection].
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is widely spread among population. While immunocompetent patients suffer rarely from this virus, it can lead to a lethal outcome in immunocompromised patients. An electron microscopic study has detected fibroblastic morphological changes of a definite cytodestructive character. The nuclei of some fibroblasts have chromatine condensation. A clear zone arising due to vacuolization near this inclusion may reflect nuclear rearrangement leading to further CMV metamorphosis of the cell. This metamorphosis is characteristic of the changes developing in the cells of different parenchymatous organs.
