Cytomegalovirus

  • Chapter
Viral Diseases in Pregnancy

Part of the book series: Clinical Perspectives in Obstetrics and Gynecology ((CPOG))

Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous infectious agent that commonly infects people of all ages, from all parts of the world, who are from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Originally described as a rare cause of “cytomegalic inclusion disease” in the fetus and newborn, it is now known that the spectrum of illness associated with CMV is broad, with most infections being totally asymptomatic.1
