International Journal of Neonatal Screening, Volume 7, Issue 4

December 2021 - 23 articles

Cover Story: Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is a common congenital condition that affects not only 6–7 per 1000 infants worldwide, but also their families. Newborn screening for cCMV would allow for early identification and intervention for infants who may have otherwise not been diagnosed. In this issue, a study examines families’ perspectives on newborn cCMV screening and shows families felt positively empowered by knowledge provided by newborn screening for cCMV. The family on the cover is celebrating the birth of their third child, a seemingly healthy baby girl who was not identified at birth as having severe symptomatic cCMV due to the absence of a screening program.
