Ophthalmological Findings in Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection: When to Screen, When to Treat?

Abstract: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of known congenital viral infections. Approximately 90% of congenitally infected newborns exhibit no clinical abnormalities at birth. In 5% to 15%, a wide spectrum of clinical signs is present at birth. Ophthalmological signs are seen in a large percentage of symptomatic patients but rarely in otherwise asymptomatic infants. Chorioretinitis, optic atrophy, and cortical visual impairment are the most frequent causes of visual problems in congenitally infected infants. … Show more

“…148 Virtually all of the 5–15% symptomatic infants born with congenital CMV infection will have ocular manifestations of chorioretinitis, optic atrophy or cortical visual defects. 149 Both spontaneous healing and delayed reactivation of CMVR have been reported. 150 Serologic rather than ocular screening is a more effective strategy for detection of congenital toxoplasmosis, because only 3.8–13.7% [95% C.I.]…”

“…Among non-HIV infected persons, nonwhite women and those in lower socio-economic groups have higher frequencies of CMV seropositivity and therefore are at greater risk of transmitting CMV prenatally if the primary infection occurs during pregnancy [35]. Unlike syphilis, chorioretinitis or other manifestations affecting the visual pathways are present in almost all of the symptomatic congenital CMV infants, who are 5 to 15% of the total born with serological evidence of congenital disease [36]. Preconception immunity does not protect against transmission to the fetus: about half of children with congenital CMV infection are born to preimmune mothers [37].…”

“…Так называемый «бессимптомный вариант» допуска-ется с определенной долей условности, так как он мо-жет включать легкие и неспецифические проявления в неонатальном периоде (задержка внутриутробного развития, недоношенность, преходящая тромбоци-топения более 100·10 3 /мкл и др.). Кроме того, в ис-ходе данного варианта у 7-15% детей формируется тугоухость, а у 1,2% могут развиваться зрительные рас-стройства и хориоретинит [1,7,15,17]. По вышепере-численным причинам не представляется возможным выделить и такое понятие, как «носительство» цито-мегаловируса у новорожденных детей, и данный тер-мин мы не встретили в зарубежной литературе.…”

“…При системных проявлениях инфекции проводится терапия ганцикловиром/ валганцикловиром, причем для разрешения хо-риоретинита может потребоваться длительный курс -до 3-6 мес [15,17]. В литературе имеются сообщения о комбинированном применении ан-тивирусных препаратов: ганцикловир внутривенно в сочетании с ганцикловиром или фоскарнетом на-трия интравитреально [48,49].…”
