Introduction: The most harmful and most frequent foetal agent is cytomegalovirus. The progress in diagnostic tools and therapeutic opportunities opened new perspectives in the diagnosis and management of foetal cytomegalovirus infection.
Aim: Evaluation of cytomegalovirus virological test results performed during pregnancy between 2007 and 2012.
Article Synopsis
- The study conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with human parvovirus B19 infection in Hungary in 2011, focusing on clinical and laboratory data.
- In total, 72 patients were identified, with clinical manifestations including rash, blood disorders, and fever, demonstrating various symptom combinations but usually highlighted by exanthema.
- The findings aim to improve the recognition of human parvovirus B19 clinical symptoms, especially noting atypical presentations and the potential effects on pregnant women.
Unlabelled: Human parechoviruses (HPeV) belonging to the family Picornaviridae are widespread enteric pathogens and are associated with various clinical syndromes in human. At present, 16 HPeV genotypes (HPeV1-16) are known. There is no report on the detection of HPeVs in Central Europe.

- The accurate diagnosis of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections is crucial in acute central nervous system (CNS) cases, as it can guide antiviral treatment and prevent severe outcomes.
- A study involving 474 cerebrospinal fluid and 555 serum samples from patients with acute CNS infections showed that PCR is an effective tool for confirming HSV etiology, with 21% of patients testing positive.
- The findings emphasize the need for ongoing antibody testing, as HSV DNA can persist even after treatment, particularly in infants, highlighting the importance of collaboration between clinicians and virologists for correct diagnosis and treatment strategies.
