Abstract:
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is a most common congenital infection, which may seriously affect children’s health. The early diagnosis and timely treatment of cCMV are readily missed due to its concealed symptoms, delayed onset and long disease course, leading to long-term disability of the patients. The current screening method is sensitive, non-invasive, inexpensive and convenient, which can effectively reduce the missed diagnosis of cCMV. This article explains the importance of cCMV screening and full course management, focusing on the screening methods, strategies and current problems, as well as the plans of full course management at different stages.
