Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is related to biliary disease, being cholestatic in its own right. It has also been associated with intrahepatic bile duct destruction and duct paucity, indicating a possible role in extrahepatic biliary atresia pathogenesis and progression. When related to biliary atresia CMV IGM positive patients appear to have more liver damage thus affecting outcome.
