CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) is an enveloped double
stranded DNA virus that belongs to Herpesviridae family.
Most of the CMV infections during pregnancy are
asymptomatic; but cause congenital malformations in
fetus. The characteristic features of congenital infection
are intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity,
hepatomegaly, jaundice, thrombocytopenia, purupura,
microcephaly and intracranial calcification. In our case
report we aimed to present a newborn with intrauterine
growth retardation due to congenital CMV infection and
review the literature.
