Neurovirological Aspects of Congenital Cytomegalovirus and Its Connection to Autistic Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disease that includes wide range of functional impairments, such as social and communication deficiencies, well limited selective interest behavioral patterns are repetitive. Children with ASD often show developmental delay, which noticeable at an early age, symptoms interfere daily functioning, so diagnosis interventions. A complex set genetic environmental factors associated the development ASD, makes disorder, there clear distinction between neurodivergent neurotypical individuals. Since caused by combination certain mutations prenatal/postnatal environment, we focused on etiology in viral infections, i.e., Cytomegalovirus (CMV) possible cause ASD. CMV neurotropic herpesvirus, can be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy. infection, asymptomatic remain latent throughout life, pose danger immune insufficiency individuals most common pathogen causes intrauterine nongenetic sensorineural hearing loss children, main research suggests association congenital infection maternal seropositivity for spectrum children. In research, used various online databases sources our study. The result processing given information indicates pregnancy related autism disorders
