Advances in the prevention and treatment of congenital cytomegalovirus infection

Abstract: Purpose of review Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of congenital infection in the world. Symptomatic infants are at increased risk of developing permanent sequelae, including sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and neurodevelopmental delay. Advances in the treatment and prevention of congenital CMV infection are a high priority nationally and globally. Recent findings In symptomatic infants, antiviral therapy with 6 months of oral valganciclovir (VGCV) improves hearing and neurodevelopmental outc… Show more

“…Currently, there is no consensus whether to offer antiviral treatment to children with isolated cCMV-SNHL, with some clinicians arguing that there is no evidence from controlled studies to support the benefit of such a treatment28 while others advocating for such a protocol 10 29 30. In our universal cCMV screening programme, the majority of the identified infants were asymptomatic at birth with normal hearing,1 and thus were not offered any medical intervention as there are currently no controlled data to support the benefit from such treatment.…”

“…В свя-зи с этим обсуждаются проблемы негативного влияния латентной инфекции на онтогенез многих функциональ-ных систем [1,2]. Вместе с тем диагностика латентных форм инфекции у новорожденных объективно затрудни-тельна, и часто диагноз устанавливается ретроспектив-но -при выявлении нарушений слуха [6] или когнитив-ной недостаточности [7].…”

“…Применение иммуноглобулина человека нор-мального [IgG + IgM + IgA] и препаратов интерферона не рекомендовано в связи с недостаточным уровнем дока-зательности большинства сообщений об использовании этих лекарственных средств. Зарубежными исследова-телями в подавляющем большинстве публикаций при манифестных формах болезни рекомендуется исполь-зовать препараты ганцикловира; при необходимости длительных курсов показан валганцикловир как менее токсичный [6,9,10]. В отдельных сообщениях обсужда-ется возможность использования валганцикловира при подтвержденной латентной форме инфекции с целью предупреждения отсроченных нейросенсорных наруше-ний [11], хотя большинством исследователей в терапии латентных форм ЦМВИ использование токсичных анти-вирусных средств не рекомендуется [12].…”

“…In order to differentiate a pre-natal CMV infection from a peri-or post-natal infection (which are not associated to a significant risk of hearing impairment), the CMV DNA research has to be performed within two weeks of birth [23,87,88] . An early diagnosis of congenital CMV infection is fundamental in order to set up the appropriate antiviral therapy [89][90][91] . Anti-CMV vaccine is currently under evaluation and may become available in the future.…”
