No. 240-Cytomegalovirus Infection in Pregnancy. J Obstet Gynaecol Can. 2018 Feb;40(2):e134-e141 Authors: Yinon Y, Farine D, Yudin MH Abstract OBJECTIVES: To review the principles of prenatal diagnosis of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and to describe the outcomes of the affected pregnancies.

Neonatal signs include intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), microcephaly, hepatosplenomegaly, petechiae, jaundice, chorioretinitis, thrombocytopenia and anemia, and long-term sequelae consist of sensorineural hearing loss, mental retardation, delay of psychomotor development, and visual impairment.

Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies.
