摘要

Background: Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is known to cause childhood deafness,neurodevelopmental disability and death. Simple hygiene precautions are effective in reducingmaternal risk of CMV infection.Objective: To review i) awareness of CMV infection and available primary prevention strategiesboth in the community and amongst health professionals ii) available cCMV information sourcesin the literature, grey literature and published professional guidelines.Methods: Scoping study to i) identify literature pertaining to cCMV awareness amongst parentsand health professionals using MedLine and CINAHL databases via EBSCO ii) review one highincome country’s guidelines and recommendations regarding cCMV infection and pregnancy (examplecountry Australia) iii) grey literature for parental information.Results: Worldwide awareness of cCMV and of available prevention strategies amongst womenand health professionals are poor. Findings internationally suggest at least half of maternity carehealth professionals do not routinely provide advice to women regarding simple hygiene precautionsthat can reduce their risk of infection during pregnancy. Though information resources regardingcCMV are available, they are frequently not included within general healthy pregnancyadvice and require individuals to search for ‘congenital cytomegalovirus’.Conclusion: cCMV is a preventable cause of serious congenital disability and death. Preventionopportunities are being missed because most women are not aware of cCMV or how to reducetheir risk of infection in pregnancy, in part due to poor health professional awareness. New strategiesto disseminate cCMV information to the community and to support health professionals toembed cCMV advice within routine pregnancy counselling is required.
