Congenital cytomegalovirus infections in Poland - a national hospital register-based study

CONCLUSIONS: The significantly more cCMV cases were observed in patients from more urban than rural regions of Poland may suggest the presence of territorial factors related to the cCMV incidence in Poland. The relatively high percentage of newborns with hearing loss or neurologic diseases may require activities aimed at reducing the cCMV incidence. The epidemiological data presented may be useful for comparisons with other geographical regions.PMID:33356063 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/128635
