Abstract

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common potentially disabling perinatal infectious disease and most common viral cause of congenital infections, present in high- as well as low-resource countries. If primary infection occurs in the developing fetus or neonate, consequences can be severe: As an important contributor to serious neurodevelopmental sequelae in children, CMV infection affects 1% of all life births [1].
