Cytomegalovirus (CMV) screening in pregnancy lacks consensus. This review evaluates five prevention methods for congenital CMV infection, assessing their benefits and drawbacks to determine if systematic screening is viable.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection affects approximately 1% of live births in France, leading to significant infant morbidity.
  • Current screening protocols for CMV during pregnancy lack universal agreement, necessitating a review of available strategies.
  • Congenital CMV can result in severe sequelae, including hearing loss and neurological complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of five distinct preventive strategies for congenital CMV infection.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of implementing systematic CMV screening during pregnancy.
  • To inform policy decisions regarding CMV screening in prenatal care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on five preventive methods for congenital CMV infection.
  • Analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of each screening approach.
  • Assessment of current data to determine the acceptability of systematic prenatal CMV testing.

    • Main Results:

    • Five preventive methods are identified: routine screening, antenatal diagnosis, serological testing during pregnancy, screening at birth, and hearing loss screening at birth.
    • Each method presents unique advantages and disadvantages that require careful consideration.
    • The review aims to determine if existing evidence supports the adoption of systematic screening.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive evaluation of CMV screening methods is crucial for effective congenital infection prevention.
    • The decision to implement systematic prenatal CMV screening requires balancing potential benefits against practical challenges.
    • Further research and consensus-building are needed to establish optimal screening protocols for congenital CMV.
