Editing Asymptomatic (section)

== Examples ==
An example of an asymptomatic disease is [[cytomegalovirus]] (CMV) which is a member of the herpes virus family. "It is estimated that 1% of all newborns are infected with CMV, but the majority of infections are asymptomatic." (Knox, 1983; Kumar et al. 1984)<ref>Vinson, B. (2012).  Language Disorders Across the Lifespan. p. 94.  Clifton Park, NY:  Delmar</ref> In some diseases, the proportion of asymptomatic cases can be important. For example, in [[multiple sclerosis]] it is estimated that around 25% of the cases are asymptomatic, with these cases detected postmortem or just by coincidence (as [[incidental findings]]) while treating other diseases.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Engell T | date = May 1989 | title = A clinical patho-anatomical study of clinically silent multiple sclerosis | journal = Acta Neurol Scand | volume = 79 | issue = 5| pages = 428–30 | doi=10.1111/j.1600-0404.1989.tb03811.x | pmid=2741673| s2cid = 21581253 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
