Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a leading cause of hearing loss and
neurologic disabilities in children worldwide. Infants with symptomatic
congenital CMV infection at birth are at significantly increased risk for
developing adverse long-term outcomes. The vast majority of infants with
congenital CMV infection have no clinical findings at birth (asymptomatic
infants), and about 10%-15% of these children develop long-term sequelae.
Currently, predictors of adverse outcome in asymptomatic congenital CMV infection
are not known, and it is important that future studies address this issue.
