Okay, let's tackle this question. The question is about the acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusion disease and asks which statement is not true. First, I need to recall the key facts about CMV. CMV is a member of the herpesvirus family, specifically Herpesviridae, and it's known for causing infections that can be asymptomatic in healthy individuals but severe in immunocompromised patients, like those with HIV or organ transplant recipients.

The question is an "except" question, meaning three options are true, and one is false. Let's break down the possible options. Common facts about CMV include its transmission through body fluids, the presence of characteristic inclusion bodies in infected cells, and the potential for congenital infection if a woman contracts it during pregnancy. Also, CMV can remain latent and reactivate in immunosuppressed individuals.

Now, considering the options, if one of them states that CMV is a DNA virus, that's true. If an option mentions that it's transmitted via saliva, that's correct. An option about causing mononucleosis-like symptoms in some cases is also true. However, if an option claims that CMV is an RNA virus, that's incorrect because herpesviruses are DNA viruses. Another possible wrong option could be about treatment with acyclovir, but actually, ganciclovir is the preferred drug. So if an option says acyclovir is the treatment, that's the exception.

Wait, the user hasn't provided the actual options A-D, so I need to work with the structure. The correct answer is the exception. For example, if one of the options says "CMV is an RNA virus" or "Treated with acyclovir," those would be incorrect. The correct answer would be the one that's false. So, the explanation should highlight why the false option is wrong and confirm the others as true.

**Core Concept**
Acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a herpesvirus infection characterized by large intranuclear inclusions in infected cells. It is typically asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals but can cause severe complications in immunocompromised patients. Key features include DNA genome, transmission via body fluids, and reactivation in immunosuppression.

**Why the Correct Answer is Right**
The incorrect statement is **Option C**: "CMV is an RNA virus." CMV is a **double-stranded DNA virus** (herpesvirus family), not RNA. Herpesviruses replicate via DNA polymerase and integrate into host cell nuclei, distinguishing them from RNA viruses like influenza or HIV. This classification is critical for antiviral therapy (e.g., ganciclovir targets DNA polymerase).

**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect**
**Option A:** "CMV causes mononucleosis-like syndrome in some cases" is true. CMV can mimic infectious mononucleosis, presenting with fever, lymphadenopathy, and atypical lymphocytes.
**Option B:** "Congenital infection occurs if a woman acquires CMV during pregnancy" is true. Maternal primary infection during pregnancy can lead to fetal transmission and congenital CMV disease.
**Option D:** "CMV inclusion bodies are diagnostic in histopathology" is true. "Owl's eye" intranuclear inclusions

✓ Correct Answer: B. The infection is acquired from the infected cervix of the paner during sexual intercourse
