Neurodevelopmental Outcomes for CMV Infections Identified by Newborn Screening

Status: Recruiting

This research study is about early development in children diagnosed with congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV), identified by newborn screening that has been confirmed with a follow-up test. Study visits, when the child is 12, 24 and 36 months of age, will include questionnaires, direct assessment of child and interviews with parent(s). A brain MRI will also be completed at about 12 months. Parents will receive a report summarizing a child’s developmental, language, and behavioral assessments, reported as within normal ranges or if clinical follow-up is recommended.
