Abstract		Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital infections, affecting 1-2% of all newborn children. Infection by CMV may cause severe sensorineural hearing impairment and mental retardation, especially when primary infection is acquired early in pregnancy. The risk of symptomatic infection in the fetus or newborn is higher when pregnant women is getting over primary CMV infection. Recent reports underscore the importance of secondary infections in which symptomatic children were born inspite of the presence of IgG antibodies to CMV.
Summary		Okužba s humanim virusom citomegalije (CMV) je najpogostejša kongenitalna okužba, ki prizadene od 1 do 2% vseh novorojenčkov. Okužba s CMV lahko povzroči hude okvare sluha in mentalno prizadetost, še posebej, če je pridobljena v zgodnjem obdobju nosečnosti. Nevarnost za simptomatsko okužbo pri plodu ali novorojenčku je večja, kadar nosečnica preboleva primarno okužbo. Preventivne ukrepe ovira dejstvo, da protitelesa niso povsem zaščitna in se otrok lahko rodi okužen tudi zaradi sekundarne okužbe med nosečnostjo.
