Congenital cytomegalovirus infection
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1969Abstract Five cases of congenital cytomegalovirus infection are presented. In the three cases studied by virologic and immunologic techniques, it was demonstrated that complement-fixing antibody titers are low in contrast to the postnatally acquired infection.

Congenital Herpesvirus Infections
Clinics in Perinatology, 1979Although herpesvirus infections may be detected in pregnant mothers, effective therapy is lacking. Because the risk of birth defects is great, cesarean section is recommended in mothers with active genital infection with herpesvirus types 1 and 2, and abortion may be considered in patients with active cytomegalovirus infection.

Congenital and perinatal infections
2019Congenital and perinatal infections represent major causes of permanent disability among children worldwide. Linked together by the acronym TORCH, denoting Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes virus, congenital infections can result from only a modest number of human pathogens that cross the placenta and infect the fetus ...

Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection
New England Journal of Medicine, 1977The overall prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus infection among the offspring of a highly immune young female population was 2.4 per cent (23 of 939). To ascertain whether the presence of anticytomegalovirus antibodies protects the developing fetus, we examined the offspring of 239 prospectively studied women.

Congenital and Perinatal Cytomegalovirus Infections
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1990Cytomegalovirus is the most common cause of congenital and perinatal viral infections throughout the world. Congenital infection occurs in 1% of all live births in developed countries and in an even higher percentage in developing nations. As a result of transmission during birth, by breast milk, and by blood transfusion, perinatal infections are much ...

Congenital lobar emphysema in congenital cytomegalovirus infection
Pediatric Radiology, 1996We report a case of congenital lobar emphysema diagnosed antenatally in an infant of 32 weeks' gestation. Histology and serology confirmed infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV pneumonitis leading to inflammation and obstruction in the bronchial tree may have resulted in the development of congenital lobar emphysema.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1992
About 1.5 per 1000 women giving birth in the United States are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Mother-to-infant human immunodeficiency virus transmission rates in the United States are about 30% on average. Intrapartum exposure to infected maternal blood and genital secretions seems to be the most important route for perinatal human ...

Congenital cytomegalovirus infection
Paediatrics and Child Health, 2014Abstract Congenital cytomegalovirus is the most common intrauterine infection and the leading non-genetic cause of sensorineural hearing loss. Worldwide, the birth prevalence is estimated at 7 per 1000 with the highest rates seen in developing countries. The highest intrauterine transmission rates and risk of neurodevelopmental sequelae are associated

Congenital infections have decreased dramatically in the Western population due to preventive measures and intensive prenatal and perinatal care to pregnant women and their babies. Population-based vaccination programs have had a dramatic effect on the incidence of viral and bacterial infections that may affect the mother and child, but infections ...
