Open Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, 2024

Abstract

Ability of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) to cause invasive disease is dependent on host immune status. Pneumonia, which is generally expression of reactivation of a latent infection, typically affects deeply immunocompromised patients such as transplant recipients.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
