Resumo

Methods. Case patients were 32 congenitally infected children aged 1–5 years who had either hearing deficit and/or psychomotor retardation and whose mothers had a confirmed or probable primary CMV infection at ≤20 weeks' gestation. Control subjects were 32 congenitally infected normal children whose mothers had a confirmed primary infection at ≤20 weeks' gestation. Case patients and control subjects were matched by the weeks of maternal gestation (±1 week) at the mother's infection and by the child's age (±1 year) at evaluation.
