The purpose of this article is to provide a review on Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) in pregnancy. Approximately 10% of congenitally infected infants have symptoms of disease at birth: sensorineural hearing loss, mental retardation, microcephaly, development delay, seizure disorders, and cerebral palsy. We discuss epidemiology of congenital CMV and the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and management CMV in pregnancy and congenital CMV infection.
