Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection

7.1 Introduction
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent congenital infection and the leading
cause of nongenetic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children worldwide.
Congenital CMV (cCMV) infection (cCMVI) may be asymptomatic or symptomatic at birth. Although the minority of infants with cCMVI have symptoms at birth,
these symptomatic infants are at signicant risk for long-term sequelae. Sensorineural
hearing loss (HL) is the most common sequela of cCMVI and can occur in asymptomatic and symptomatic cases [1, 2]. The association between cCMVI and HL was
rst described by Medearis in 1964 [3] and has been further described in numerous
longitudinal studies since that time [4].
This chapter summarizes the current knowledge about the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cCMVI and focuses on the association of cCMVI
with HL.

7.2 Etiology
Human CMV, also known as human herpesvirus 5, is a member of the Herpesviridae
family and the beta-herpesvirus subfamily. It is the largest member of Herpesviridae
and shares many properties with other herpes viruses, including genome structure
and the ability to cause latent and persistent infections. The complete virion consists
of a linear, double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genome within an icosahedral capsid of 162 capsomeres, which yields a nal diameter of 200–300nm [1, 2].
7.3 Epidemiology
Cytomegalovirus is the agent of the most frequent congenital viral infection, occurring in approximately 1–2% of live births worldwide [1, 5]. The birth prevalence of
cCMVI is proportional to the seroprevalence of CMV among women of reproductive age in the population, which varies widely according to geographic regions and
sociodemographic factors, such as age, race, and ethnicity [1]. Seroprevalence is
higher among non-whites and individuals in low- and middle-income countries and
groups with lower socioeconomic status in high-income countries [2, 5]. A recent
review estimated a global CMV seroprevalence of 86% in women of reproductive
age, with the highest (89–92%) seroprevalences in low- and middle-income countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacic, African, and Southeast Asian
regions and the lowest (70–79%) in the European region and the Americas [6].
However, even within the same geographic region, variable rates of CMV seroprevalence could be seen in women of different ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic
backgrounds, reecting the distinct epidemiological patterns of cCMVI [7].
Transmission of CMV can occur through contact with infected bodily uids,
such as saliva, urine, blood, or genital secretions. Children aged 1–3years who
excrete the virus in saliva and urine for extended periods are the most important
CMV infection (CMVI) sources for young women [1, 2]. Maternal CMV acquisition usually occurs through frequent and prolonged contact with young children,
especially children in the home and attending daycare or group care centers, as well
as breast milk feedings and close contact situations.
Intrauterine transmission of CMV from mother to fetus can occur by primary
(new) or nonprimary maternal infection during pregnancy. Nonprimary maternal
infection, also called recurrent or secondary infection, may result from re-infection
with a new strain or reactivation of latent CMV [1]. The rates of cCMVI due to
nonprimary maternal infection are hard to determine and possibly underestimated
due to difculties in its diagnosis. It is highly difcult to identify by serologic and
virologic markers which pregnant woman may experience a re-infection with a new
strain or reactivation of the latent virus and to determine the timing of transmission
due to nonprimary infection during pregnancy [7]. However, it contributes substantially to the burden of cCMVI because most women of reproductive age worldwide
are CMV-seropositive [8].

https://t.me/medicina_free
Although it is estimated that 75% of cCMVIs in the United States of America
(USA) result from nonprimary maternal infection [9], reliable estimates of prevalence from low- and middle-income countries are not available [7]. A previous
meta-analysis estimated that the majority of cCMVIs in most populations result
from nonprimary maternal infections [10]. Earlier studies suggested that symptomatic CMV disease and permanent sequelae are much more likely in infants infected
due to a primary maternal infection than those infected due to nonprimary maternal
infection [11, 12]. However, increasing evidence indicates that neither symptomatic
CMVI nor the development of long-term sequelae, including SNHL, is correlated to
the maternal infection type, and symptomatic disease and sequelae can be observed
following nonprimary maternal infections [8]. The likelihood of maternal–fetal
transmission is much greater during primary versus nonprimary maternal CMVI (32
versus 1.4%) [5].
At the time of primary maternal infection, gestational age is considered a signicant factor affecting the intrauterine CMV transmission rate and the development of
symptomatic disease and long-term sequelae [1, 2]. The vertical transmission rate
appears to increase with advancing gestational age. A meta-analysis pooled data
from ten studies (2942 fetuses) reported that vertical transmission rates increased,
from 21% for infection at the periconceptional period to 36% in the rst, 40% in the
second, and 66% in the third trimesters [13]. Although symptomatic cCMVI may
result from maternal infection at any time during pregnancy, severe sequelae and
symptomatic diseases are more common when infection occurs earlier in pregnancy,
particularly in the rst trimester [1, 14].
85
7.4 In Utero Findings
The fetus with in-utero CMVI might show ultrasonographic abnormalities, including fetal growth restriction, microcephaly, ventriculomegaly, periventricular calcications, neuronal migration abnormalities (polymicrogyria, pachygyria, and
lissencephaly), cerebellar hypoplasia, large cisterna magna, enlarged liver or spleen,
hepatic calcications, echogenic bowel patterns, pleural effusion, and ascites.
Although not pathognomonic or diagnostic, these ndings could suggest fetal
CMVI in the presence of maternal infection [1, 15].
7.5 Clinical Characteristics
The clinical presentation of cCMVI is highly variable and ranges from asymptomatic infection to severe multi-organ involvement. Infants with cCMVI are generally
classied as “asymptomatic” or “symptomatic” based on the presence of clinical
symptoms and signs at birth [1, 2].

M. Polat et al.
7.5.1 Asymptomatic Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection
Most newborns (~90%) with cCMVI have no apparent symptoms at birth and are
thus termed asymptomatic. However, some of these infants may have detectable
SHNL at birth and are classied as “asymptomatic with congenital SNHL” or
“asymptomatic with isolated HL,” or they may develop delayed-onset SNHL and
are classied as “asymptomatic with normal hearing at birth, with later-onset
SNHL” [1]. Approximately 7–11% of asymptomatic infants with cCMVI experience SNHL up to 5years and 25% by age 18 [16, 17]. Lanzieri etal. [16] demonstrated that 2% of children with asymptomatic cCMVI developed SNHL severe
enough to require cochlear implantation. Ocular abnormalities, such as small retinal
lesions, were also reported in asymptomatic newborns; however, the visual impairment risk appears negligible [18, 19].
7.5.2 Symptomatic Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection
Approximately 10% of newborns with cCMVI are symptomatic at birth [5, 20]. The
clinical spectrum of symptomatic cCMV disease ranges from mild to moderatesevere manifestations [21]. At present, there is no standard denition for symptomatic cCMV disease. The informal International Congenital Cytomegalovirus
Recommendations Group has categorized the symptomatic cCMV disease as
“mildly symptomatic” or “moderately to severely symptomatic” [21].
The mildly symptomatic disease has been dened as the presence of isolated
(one or two at most), mild, and transient manifestations of cCMVI (e.g., mild hepatomegaly or thrombocytopenia). In contrast, moderately to severely symptomatic
disease includes central nervous system (CNS) involvement (e.g., microcephaly,
neuroimaging ndings consistent with cCMV disease, SNHL, and chorioretinitis)
or multiple manifestations of cCMVI, such as petechiae, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and hepatitis [21]. The characteristics of symptomatic cCMV disease are summarized in Table7.1 [1, 2, 22, 23]. Figure7.1 shows the neuroimaging
ndings associated with symptomatic cCMV disease.
Since cCMVI has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and can present
with subtle or atypical signs and symptoms, a high suspicion index is necessary to
identify cases. Some infants present with only CNS manifestations, such as microcephaly, seizures, and abnormal neuroimaging ndings, including polymicrogyria
or cortical dysplasia, and are classied as “primary neurophenotype.” These infants
may appear completely healthy at birth or have mild microcephaly without the classic somatic manifestations of cCMVI [1].
Approximately 10% of infants with symptomatic cCMVI have severe diseases,
and among these severely affected infants, mortality rates might be as high as
10–30%. However, the overall mortality rate due to cCMVI is generally low
(0.3–1.0%) [20].

7.6 Late Complications andSequelae
Long-term sequelae can develop in asymptomatic and symptomatic infants with
cCMVI, with the more frequent and severe sequelae occurring in symptomatic
infants [20]. Approximately 40–60% of symptomatic infants had CMVI-related disabilities, with SNHL being the most common. Other reported late sequelae in children with symptomatic CMVI include motor and cognitive decits, cerebral palsy,
seizures, intellectual disability, chorioretinitis, strabismus, optic atrophy, cortical
visual impairment, and dental abnormalities [20, 24].
Long-term sequelae in infants with asymptomatic cCMVI are less apparent
because most have not been diagnosed [17]. It has been estimated that 13.5% of the
asymptomatic infants with cCMVI will develop long-term sequelae, most commonly manifest as SNHL [20]. Although some earlier studies suggested that neurodevelopmental impairments might occur in children with asymptomatic cCMVI,
recent studies concluded that these children do not have an increased risk of neurodevelopmental sequelae compared with healthy controls [17]. Additionally, Lopez
etal. [25] found that infants with asymptomatic cCMVI who had normal hearing by
age 2years had no difference in intelligence, language development, or academic
achievement during childhood compared with uninfected children. Conversely,
intelligence and receptive vocabulary scores were lower than normal controls in
children with asymptomatic cCMVI who developed SNHL by age 2years [25].
Recent studies demonstrated that vestibular disorders can also occur in children
with cCMVI, with or without associated SNHL [26].

7.7 Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection andHearing Loss
Congenital CMVI is the leading nonhereditary cause of SNHL in children worldwide, accounting for approximately 21% and 25% of cases of HL at birth and
4years of age, respectively [4]. Congenital CMVI-related HL can occur following
primary and nonprimary maternal infections [4, 8]. Sensorineural HL is the most
common sequela of cCMVI and occurs in up to 50% of symptomatic and 15% of
asymptomatic cases [4]. However, since there are many asymptomatic infants, most
patients with SNHL due to cCMVI occur in this group [27]. Therefore, dening the
actual contribution of cCMVI to permanent HL in childhood has been challenging.
The HL associated with asymptomatic or symptomatic cCMVI may be present
at birth or later in life (late-onset). Late-onset HL occurs in up to 50% of children
with cCMVI [4], mostly in the rst 5–6years [27–29]. There are considerable interstudy variabilities regarding the age at which children with cCMVI develop lateonset HL.Dahle etal. [30] reported the median age of late-onset HL to be 33months
in symptomatic and 44 months in asymptomatic children with cCMVI. Another
study by Goderis etal. [31] reported the mean age of late-onset HL to be 18months
and found that 75% of the HL presented before 24months of age, and none occurred
after 61 months. In children with asymptomatic cCMVI, the risk of late-onset
SNHL was reported to return to a level comparable to uninfected controls by age
5years [16]. However, recent reviews have shown that late-onset HL can appear as
late as the mid-teens [28, 32]. Riga etal. [32] found that late-onset HL was reported
until 15.2 years in asymptomatic and 16.4 years in symptomatic children
with cCMVI.
Recent systematic reviews have demonstrated that the nature of cCMVI-related
HL (e.g., onset, severity, and course) is quite variable and unpredictable, as presented in Table7.2 [17, 27–29, 32]. Regardless of symptomatic and asymptomatic
statuses at birth, cCMVI-related SNHL may be unilateral or bilateral and has various patterns, including stable, uctuating, progressive, and improving [27–29, 32].
These multiple patterns and changes can be seen in children with congenital, early
onset, or late-onset SNHL and children treated or untreated with antiviral therapy
[29]. The severity of HL can vary widely and range from unilateral high-frequency
to bilateral severe to profound loss [4, 27]. Compared with asymptomatic children,
symptomatic children with cCMVI tend to have more severe and often bilateral HL
and are less likely to improve [27, 29, 32].
Progression of HL occurs at any time during childhood, even after years, in up to
50% of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with cCMVI [32, 33]. A recent
review found that SNHL has been reported to progress until 15.5years in asymptomatic and 17.4years in symptomatic children [32]. The reported age at which
progression is rst documented has varied from study to study. Fowler etal. [34]
reported that the median age for asymptomatic children’s rst progression was
18months. In another study by Dahle etal. [30], the median age for the rst progression was 26months in symptomatic and 51months in asymptomatic children
with cCMVI.Fluctuating HL is common and may occur in one or both ears [4].
Improvement of HL may also be seen among children with cCMVI and occurs

predominantly in asymptomatic cases compared with symptomatic patients (40 versus 20%) [32].
It has been found that the presence of petechiae, intrauterine growth retardation
(IUGR), microcephaly, and abnormal neuroimaging ndings are predictive of the
risk of SNHL in children with symptomatic cCMVI.Among asymptomatic cases of
cCMVI, low birth weight and prematurity were associated with SNHL [1, 33]. An
association between CMV viral load and HL has also been described [33]. However,
despite these ndings, there are no reliable virological and clinical markers to predict which children with cCMVI will have SNHL; it is also difcult to predict which
children will develop late-onset or progressive SNHL [4, 33]. Studies have also
suggested that inammatory genes or genetic mutations might contribute to the
development of cCMVI-related SNHL [1].
91
7.8 Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of cCMVI includes other intrauterine infections (e.g.,
toxoplasmosis, rubella, syphilis, herpes simplex virus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus [LCMV], and Zika virus infections). The differential diagnosis should also
include bacterial sepsis or noninfectious disorders, such as genetic and metabolic
disorders, and in-utero exposure to toxins or drugs [1].
7.9 Diagnostic Evaluation andLaboratory Diagnosis
For a timely diagnosis of cCMVI, a high clinical suspicion index is essential. In
addition to the clinical, laboratory, and neuroimaging ndings (Table 7.1) not
explained by other causes and suggestive of cCMVI, laboratory testing for CMV
should be considered in newborns born to mothers with suspected or known CMVI
during pregnancy.
Laboratory diagnosis of cCMVI requires detecting the virus within the rst
3weeks of life since testing after this period cannot conclusively distinguish congenital from postnatal infection [1]. Viral culture is the traditional diagnostic test for
cCMVI; however, it has been replaced by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based
tests in most clinical laboratories due to the requirement of tissue culture facilities
and longer turnaround time. Saliva and urine are the preferred specimens for testing
as most newborns with cCMVI have high viral loads in these uids. Although saliva
is the easiest to obtain, false-positive results may rarely occur due to breastfeeding.
Therefore, it is recommended that samples be taken at least 60min after breastfeeding to avoid contamination of the saliva with CMV from breast milk. A positive
result should be conrmed with a repeat PCR test (preferably urine) [1, 21, 35]. For
infants who have not undergone neonatal PCR testing within the rst 3weeks, CMV
PCR testing on the archived dried blood spot (DBS) specimens obtained for routine
newborn screening panels allows for diagnosing cCMVI retrospectively. However,
a negative DBS PCR result cannot denitively exclude cCMVI because of this
