Karen,

     You might be looking for information about the "cytomegalovirus"
known as CMV.  CMV is "any of a group of herpes viruses that attack and
enlarge epithelial cells.  Such viruses also cause a disease of infants
characterized by circulatory dysfunction and microcephaly."  Source:
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 3rd ed.

     I hope that this is helpful.
