In this episode of The Uterine Sound, Anne, Mel, and Carla take on cytomegalovirus (CMV)—the most common congenital infection you might not be screening for! From toddler snot to primary infections, we break down how this viral hitchhiker spreads, why daycare workers and first-time parents are at higher risk, and whether that casual kiss on the lips could be a game-changer.
We cover transmission, clinical impact, screening dilemmas, treatment and—most importantly—how to counsel and protect pregnant patients. Plus, the hosts dive into the evidence behind universal screening and treatment for prevention of congenital infection. Is it time for a change in clinical practice?
So, wash your hands (twice!) and tune in for a deep dive into this stealthy but significant infection! 🎧✨
