Correlation with neonatal congenital cytomegalovirus infection,maternal primary infection and secondary infection / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the correlation with neonatal congenital cytomegalovirus infection,maternal primary infection and secondary infection.Methods: 48 neonates with congenital CMV infection were assigned to infection group with their mothers.And the other 30 couples without congenital CMV infection were assigned to negative group with their mothers.The level of CMV-IgM/IgG and affinity of CMV-IgG in peripheral blood were tested by CLIA,and CMV-DNA in mother′s milk,peripheral blood and urine of the newborn was tested by fluorescent quantitation PCR.We also analyzed the differences of the test results between the two groups and performed a retrospective analysis to compare the levels of CMV-IgG of the mother with early pregnancy with the result of this test.Results: In the infection group,the level of CMV-IgG in peripheral blood and CMV-DNA in milk was significantly higher than those in the negative group,the difference was statistically significant(P0.05).Conclusion: It is a high-risk factor for neonatal congenital cytomegalovirus infection that CMV-IgG level of the pregnant women is promted by the reactivation or reinfection of cytomegalovirus.It is important to monitor CMV-IgM/IgG during pregnancy.
