Abstract:
Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the main cause of mental retardation and sensorineural hearing loss related to congenital infections. Justification of systematic screening for fetal CMV infection is still controversial and is not recommended in most developed countries. This is mainly justified by the paucity of antenatal prognostic factors and the lack of established intrauterine treatment when fetal infection has been diagnosed. Our aim was to review the current state of the knowledge about the CMV congenital infection and to highlight recent advances in the diagnosis as well as in the identification of prognostic factors.
