Congenital cytomegalovirus: an update
Stowell JD , Forlin-Passoni DF , Cannon MJ . Contemp Pediatr 2010 27 (5) 38-51 Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most commong source of congential infection in newborns and is a leading cause of hearing loss and intellectual disability in the United Sates. As a result of its substantial disease burden, congential CMV is associated with an estimated $1 billion to $2 billion in direct ecnomic costs each year. However, there has been limited progress in developing interventions to prevent or treat CMV infection. Researchers across disciplines are striving to better understand the epidemiology of congenital CMV, improve diagnostic tools, develop new treatments, and explore interventions for preventing infection and improving outcomes for infected infants. |
