Abstract:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital viral infection in developed countries. Vaccines are currently under development and antiviral treatment or passive immunizations for pregnant women with CMV primary infection are about to be evaluated in randomized trials. However, as it has been shown in few studies, preventing transmission through behavioral changes could be, at the moment, the most effective and inexpensive way to decrease risk of CMV infection during pregnancy. Despite difficulties, such counseling programs deserve to be established.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
