About This Series
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) continues to be the most common viral infection in adults and the leading cause of infectious birth defects in the United States. Even with this statistic, clinicians are still uncertain how to screen, test, diagnose, and educate patients who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant about congenital CMV. Expert faculty on congenital CMV will discuss best practices as determined by national associations and clinical experiences. Faculty will also discuss the importance of preconception CMV screening and how to interpret results and what this means for patients and family planning.
