Nosocomial transmission can occur during blood transfusion or organ transplantation. Virus excretio...
متن کاملDoes normal fetal brain ultrasound predict normal neurodevelopmental outcome in congenital cytomegalovirus infection?
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the neuropsychological outcome of children with proven congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and normal consecutive fetal neurosonographic examinations. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed laboratory and imaging findings of children with congenital CMV infection. The study group consisted of children with a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in amniotic fluid...
