Abstract
Congenital infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) represents the leading cause of maternal fetal infection, also is the leading cause of childhood deafness worldwide.
Infected women can present a large number of events or asymptomatic.
Most newborns and infants are asymptomatic at birth, but can present late sequelae such as mental retardation, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, partial or total deafness or blindness and visual deficits.
Mother diagnosis is based on the presence of antibodies in blood and fetal diagnosis is based on detection of immunocomplexes in amniotic fluid.
Treatment during pregnancy has been used antiviral drugs such as ganciclovir and valganciclovir orally.
