Abstract:
Until recently, prevention and treatment of congenital cytomegalovirus infection was not possible. However, several studies on the epidemiology of congenital CMV infection and the development of vaccines, diagnostic tests and antiviral drugs such as ganciclovir may improve the perspectives for patients with congenital CMV disease. In this article we will discuss several of those developments that may offer new approaches for prevention and treatment of congenital CMV disease.
