Cognizance of Congenital Cytomegalovirus

Cytomegalovirus infection(CMV) has become the most common problems around the globe that infects all the people of all ages. Once the CMV is in the human body it stays for there for life and can reactivate. There are no symptoms or signs those who have got affected. CMV can cause serious hazards for the people who have weak immune system and unborn babies( Congenital cytomegalovirus). CMV is a common viral infection, especially among young children. Congenital CMV occurs when the infection is passed across the placenta from a pregnant woman to her developing baby. This can happen when a pregnant woman is infected with CMV for the first time, or is infected with CMV again during pregnancy Some babies with congenital CMV infection show signs of disability at birth, while others are born healthy. Some babies with signs of congenital CMV infection at birth may have long-term health problems. This paper reveals the review of the importance of congenital CMV virus among the common people.
