Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection represents a relevant cause of deafness and neurological damage in newborns. Intrauterine CMV transmission might result after primary or nonprimary infections, though at different rates (30% versus 0.2%, respectively). At present, a prenatal diagnosis of CMV infection is based mainly on maternal serology, the detection of CMV-DNA in amniotic fluid and fetal blood, and ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent evidences suggest that congenital CMV infection may be an immune-mediated disease and that evaluation of humoral and especially T-cell immunities may improve the overall prenatal diagnosis. This review summarizes the most recent advancements in the diagnosis of maternal and prenatal CMV infections.
先天性巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染是新生儿耳聋和神经损伤的一个重要原因。宫内CMV传播可能发生在原发性或非原发性感染之后,不过发生率不同(分别为30%和0.2%)。目前,CMV感染的产前诊断主要基于母体血清学、羊水和胎儿血液中CMV-DNA的检测以及超声(US)和磁共振成像(MRI)。最近的证据表明,先天性CMV感染可能是一种免疫介导的疾病,评估体液免疫尤其是T细胞免疫可能会改善整体产前诊断。本综述总结了母体和产前CMV感染诊断方面的最新进展。
