Report on a Long-term Study of Maternal and Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection in Sweden. Review of Prospective Studies Available in the Literature
Abstract
This report summarizes knowledge accumulated in a long-term study of congenital and maternal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in Sweden. Some new findings are included. We considered diagnostic methods, sources of maternal infection (including occupational risks), roles of primary and secondary maternal infections, transmission to foetuses, incidence, symptoms and prognosis of established congenital infection and relative importance of such infection in infantile sensorineural deafness, microcephaly and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Virus isolation testing was done 1977-1985 on 16,474 newborns. 76 (0.5%) congenitally infected infants were found, 22/76 (29%) with transient neonatal symptoms and 11/60 (18%) with neurological symptoms by the age of 7 y. Type of maternal CMV infection was serologically determined in 62/76 cases (30 primary, 32 secondary). CNS disturbances in the infants occurred after both primary (all trimesters) and secondary maternal infections. The negative potential of secondary maternal infections might be an obstacle to preventive vaccination.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
