Abstract EN
The epidemiology and pathogenesis of CMV infections among pregnant women have been intensely studied over the last three decades.
This paper highlights recent developments that make either universal or limited serologic screening for CMV during pregnancy potentially attractive.
The developments include an understanding of the pathogenesis of CMV infections, a knowledge of high-risk women, the availability of accurate methods for the serologic diagnosis of a primary CMV infection using either single or serial blood samples, accurate methods for the diagnosis of fetal infection via amniotic fluid, sensitive fetal and placental indicators for neonatal outcomes, and the availability of potentially effective interventions.
