Congenital Cytomegalovirus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Congenital cytomegalovirus is an infection the baby acquires during pregnancy when the mother transmits cytomegalovirus (CMV) to the fetus.
Frequent symptoms: Many newborns show no signs at birth; in other cases, low weight, jaundice, or, over time, hearing or neurodevelopmental changes may appear.
When to see a doctor? Follow-up during pregnancy and examination of the newborn make it possible to detect and monitor the infection in a timely manner.
Which specialist treats it? The neonatologist and the pediatrician support the baby, while the infectious disease specialist provides guidance on the infection. If you are concerned about your child's health or a possible exposure during pregnancy, a professional evaluation is the best path.
