Congenital CMV: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:33, 14 July 2020

Epidemiology

Maternal seroconversion in about 2% of pregnancies
- Higher in childcare workers
Risk of transmission to fetus
- Primary infection: 30% risk of congenital CMV; higher risk later in pregnancy, but worse outcomes earlier
- Non-primary
  - Reinfection: 5% risk
  - Reactivation: 1% risk

Clinical Presentation

Mother may have had asymptomatic infection
At birth
Later
- Cognitive deficits (7%)
- Sensorineural hearing loss (20%)

Diagnosis

In mom, IgM antibodies
In baby, urine PCR within 2 weeks of birth

Management

Treatment is indicated for symptomatic babies
- Brain
- Hearing
- Eye
IV ganciclovir or PO valganciclovir, for 6 months
Monitor CBC while on therapy
