A 14 months old male child with psychomotor retardation and hypotonia is reported, where computerized axial tomography revealed multiple calcification and ventriculomegaly secondary to cortical atrophy. Investigation suggested the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection. Importance of early diagnosis is emphasized as the potential long term sequelae can be prevented or reduced markedly with avai...
متن کامل[Congenital cytomegalovirus infection].
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) belongs to the herpesvirus family. Its distribution is ubiquitous in man and many other mammals. CMV causes a typical cytopathic effect with enlargement of the cells that contain intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions. CMV is spread directly or by a contact with secretions. Nosocomial transmission can occur during blood transfusion or organ transplantation. Virus excretio...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Sensitive Quantitative Competitive PCR Assay for Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in immunocompromised patients has remained as a challenge. Quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) methods for detection of HCMV in these individuals have improved the positive and negative predictive values of PCR for diagnosis of HCMV disease. In this study we used QC-PCR assay, using a co-amplified DNA standard, to quantitate...
متن کاملCongenital and perinatal cytomegalovirus infection
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is currently the most common agent of congenital infection and the leading infectious cause of brain damage and hearing loss in children. Symptomatic congenital CMV infections usually result from maternal primary infection during early pregnancy. One half of symptomatic infants have cytomegalic inclusion disease (CID), which is characterized by involvement of multiple orga...
