Article Synopsis
- Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is prevalent globally, with 85%-90% of infected infants showing no symptoms at birth, but 10%-15% may face issues like sensorineural hearing loss later on.
- A review of studies focused on the neurodevelopmental outcomes of asymptomatic cCMV (AcCMV) in children found that they generally performed better than symptomatic cCMV children, but the understanding of their long-term neurodevelopment is still unclear.
- Most studies showed AcCMV children had comparable outcomes to CMV-uninfected children, though limitations like a lack of control groups and inconsistent definitions hindered the findings; further research with standardized methods is needed.
