Abstract
The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital infection in humans. Congenital CMV infection can follow either a primary or recurrent maternal infection, and it can cause one or more of several clinical manifestations such as intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, chorioretinitis, sensorineural hearing loss, anemia, thrombocytopenia, jaundice, and hepatosplenomegaly. Seroconversion to cytomegalovirus occurs in 1-4% of pregnant women. We present the case of a pregnant woman with primary congenital cytomegalovirus infection diagnosed by PCR method of amniotic fluid at the 22nd week of pregnancy.
