Zusammenfassung

Die vorgeburtliche Primär-Infektion mit dem Zytomegalievirus gehört zu den relevantesten Infektionen in der Schwangerschaft. Sie kann zu einer erheblichen Entwicklungsstörung des Kindes führen, kann aber auch folgenlos bleiben. Für die Risikobeurteilung ist der Zeitpunkt der mütterlichen Infektion und konsekutiv die Wahrscheinlichkeit der maternofetalen Transmission zur zentraler Bedeutung. Mit zunehmender Schwangerschaftswoche steigt die Transmissionshäufigkeit, gleichzeitig sinkt aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer fetalen Schädigung. Therapeutische Ansätze beinhalten die Prävention der mütterlichen Infektion durch Hygienemaßnahme, die Prävention der Transmission durch Hyperimmunglobulin und die Therapie des Feten mit Valaciclovir.

Abstract

Prenatal primary infections with the cytomegalovirus is one of the most relevant infections in pregnancy. It can lead to a considerable developmental disorder of the child but can also be without consequences. The time of maternal infection and, subsequently, the probability of maternal-fetal transmission are of crucial importance for risk assessment. The frequency of transmission increases with increasing gestational age; however, at the same time the probability of fetal and postnatal sequelae decreases. Therapeutic approaches include prevention of maternal infection through hygiene measures, prevention of transmission through hyperimmunoglobulin and treatment of the fetus with valacyclovir.
