Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is common. The term ‘indirect effects’ describes a statistical excess of cardiovascular disease, non-CMV infections, and other pathology seen in people with CMV absent histological evidence of CMV-associated tissue damage. This meeting will bring together laboratory scientists, paediatric and adult clinical academics, epidemiologists and trialists, to discuss the latest research on indirect effects, from mechanisms to clinical significance.
