Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection Predicted in High-Risk Pregnant Women

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can cause serious complications such as hearing difficulties and mental delay in affected infants. A new method for predicting congenital CMV infection during the prenatal period has been discovered. This method is safe for both mothers and fetuses, and could potentially be adopted for general use. More...
