Congenital Cytomegalovirus and HIV Perinatal Transmission
Overview
This study assessed the presence, magnitude, and risk factors associated with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) among infants born to HIV-infected women, who were not receiving antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy. The authors found that in-utero HIV infection appears to be a major risk factor for cCMV in infants whose mothers have not received combination antiretroviral therapy in pregnancy.
