Brief description Congenital CMV is the second most common cause of fetal malformation in Australia, and yet most pregnant mothers do not know about it, nor how to prevent congenital CMV in their baby. It is a viral infection that can severely damage the unborn baby. Our research aims to find more about how the virus damages the baby, and whether antiviral drugs are useful in reducing infection of the baby, and also reducing damage to the baby from such infection. If successful, these studies will be the basis for clinical trials in pregnant women.
