Intrauterine Transmission of Cytomegalovirus to Infants of Women with Preconceptional Immunity

Abstract
Preconceptional immunity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) provides only partial protection against intrauterine transmission of the virus. Whether congenital CMV infection in the offspring of women who are seropositive for CMV can occur after maternal reinfection with a different strain of CMV is unknown.
