| Description | Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common vertically transmitted viral infection, ranging from 0,5 to 2,0 % of all live births. CMV may be transmitted pre-natally (transplacental, in utero acquisition) resulting in congenital CMV infection, natally (infection acquired during delivery and labour), or in the post-natal period. The associated morbidity and sequelae of CMV infection vary depending on the route of acquisition of infection, and maternal immune status. |
