One thing to clarify from episode 1 of season 6: CMV does not cause mono, herpes or chickenpox, but is in the same family of viruses that causes those illnesses.

Just as a heads up, CMV only causes CMV and can result in congenital abnormalities in babies. also causes the common cold in adults. Mono is caused by EBV. Herpes is caused by HSV. Chickenpox is caused by VZV. Loved the episode still!
