BACKGROUND
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a leading cause of disabilities in children, yet the general public appears to have little awareness of CMV.
METHODS
Women were surveyed about newborn infections at 7 different geographic locations.
RESULTS
Of the 643 women surveyed, 142 (22%) had heard of congenital CMV. Awareness increased with increasing levels of education (P<.0001). Women who had worked as a healthcare professional had a higher prevalence of awareness of CMV than had other women (56% versus 16%, P <.0001). Women who were aware of CMV were most likely to have heard about it from a healthcare provider (54%), but most could not correctly identify modes of CMV transmission or prevention. Among common causes of birth defects and childhood illnesses, women's awareness of CMV ranked last.
CONCLUSION
Despite its large public health burden, few women had heard of congenital CMV, and even fewer were aware of prevention strategies.
背景
先天性巨细胞病毒（CMV）感染是儿童残疾的主要原因，但公众似乎对CMV了解甚少。
方法
在7个不同地理位置对女性进行了关于新生儿感染的调查。
结果
在接受调查的643名女性中，142名（22%）听说过先天性CMV。知晓率随着教育程度的提高而增加（P<.0001）。曾从事医疗保健工作的女性对CMV的知晓率高于其他女性（56%对16%，P<.0001）。知晓CMV的女性最有可能是从医疗保健提供者那里听说的（54%），但大多数人不能正确识别CMV的传播或预防方式。在出生缺陷和儿童疾病的常见原因中，女性对CMV的知晓率排名最后。
结论
尽管先天性CMV造成了巨大的公共卫生负担，但很少有女性听说过它，甚至更少有人了解预防策略。
