What is this article about?
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) belongs to the same group of viruses as the herpes simplex viruses, varicella-zoster virus and the Epstein-Barr virus. Whilst it’s a common infection that is usually harmless, once it’s in the body it remains there for life. Sadly, many people with CMV miscarry or suffer a stillbirth, and of those babies born alive, about one in five will have problems with hearing loss, cerebral palsy or physical impairment.
