A clinical case of this disease in a newborn is reported. The clinical signs and laboratory results were typical and were confirmed by pathological studies. The modern literature stresses the high frequency of this disease, specially in the U.S.A. and England, where reports reach 4% in pregnant women and 1% of newborns with cytomegalic inclusion disease.
