Long-term outcomes of congenital cytomegalovirus infection in children early identified by extended hearing-targeted screening
The study highlights the diverse and significant long-term sequelae of cCMV infection detected through early screening. With a significant proportion of cCMV children developing sensorineural hearing loss, ophthalmological and neurodevelopmental issues, the results emphasize the importance of continuous, multidisciplinary follow-up. Early identification and tailored interventions are crucial for improving the long-term health and quality of life of children affected by cCMV.
