Computed tomography in the diagnosis of congenital cytomegalic inclusion disease.

We present two cases of congenital CID, one in a 4-month-old male infant and the other in a 6-week-old male infant. The diagnoses were confirmed by means of computed tomography, cultures, and serologic methods. The relatively noninvasive character of CT makes it an ideal diagnostic method in the neonate. With the improved visualization afforded by CT, specificity on radiographic grounds alone may become possible.

The incidence of cytomegalic inclusion disease (CID) in an obstetric teaching hospital, 1975-1984.

A low incidence (1 in 4,000) of neonatal CID was found in 47,320 consecutive live births at an obstetric hospital over a decade. The mortality was high, 5 of 16 neonates died in hospital and, of those discharged, 7 were left with severe cerebral and/or ophthalmic handicaps. Minor, remediable conditions were also found in 7 infants. Previous studies have indicated that CMV infection occurs in 1-2% of all pregnancies and 10% of the infected neonates have signs of CID at birth. A highly significant increase in the incidence of antenatal complications was found in mothers delivered of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected infants which may have compounded the effects of the viral disease on the fetus. A CMV-specific defect in the maternal and neonatal immune systems is discussed.
