ReviewTreatment of congenital cytomegalovirus: where are we now?
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection in the USA, affecting approximately 1% of all live births. While the majority of infants will remain asymptomatic, approximately 10% will be symptomatic at birth and another 10-15% will go on to develop problems during the first 6 years of life. ⋯ Accordingly, researchers and clinicians have long been interested in identifying strategies to prevent or treat symptomatic congenital CMV infection.
