Abstract

Congenital Cytomegalovirus infection (CCMV) is the most common intrauterine infection. Early diagnosis of CCMV is hindered by three factors: There is no screening programme for CMV infection in pregnant women; a high percentage of infections in neonates are asymptomatic; the clinical signs of CCMV infection are uncharacteristic. The aim of this article is to analyse the clinical picture and course of CCMV treatment in a 3-week-old newborn, analyse adverse events in 14-week-long antiviral therapy and also assess intraventricular bleeding as an early indicator for the diagnosis of CCMV.
