Abstract

Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMVi) in the newborn is one of the most common congenital infections. The children who are infected will present different clinical manifestations. The mild symptoms may be asymptomatic. However, severe cases may have permanent sequelae and even endanger their life. This paper would review the research progresses in the following fields including the epidemiology, the route of transmission, clinical manifestation, screening methods , narrative perspective of prevention and control means. Then the prevention strategies would be summarized.

Keywords

cytomegalovirus, congenital cytomegalovirus infection, clinical manifestation, screening methods, prevention strategies
