'''PCR''' tests for PCMV have now also been developed and are very sensitive.
'''PCR''' tests for PCMV have now also been developed and are very sensitive.
On '''post-mortem''', petechiation of the heart, kidneys, intestine, lungs, lymph nodes and meninges is seen in neonatal and foetal pigs. Pulmonary congestion is marked and the bronchial and mediastinal lymph nodes are dramatically enlarged. Ventral aspects of lung lobes are often '''discoloured purple'''. The nasal mucosa is congested with a mucoid exudates.

Histologically, large '''basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies are present in the mucosal epithelial cells''' of the turbinates, salivary glands and kidney tissues.
