Re: persistent CMV infectionFrom: DoctorJoe (DoctorJoe@aol.com)Thu Apr 2 10:46:37 1998
In a message dated 98-04-02 12:40:47 EST, you write: << Thanks for the prompt reply, the patient is totally aymptomatic, but has elevated IgG and IgM,indicating an active infection ( ? re-infection ). >> My thought would be that she's got persistent infection, perhaps because her primary was not too long ago... it takes sometimes a year or two to immunologically complete the response. HOWEVER, since she's got antibody, the chance of severe fetal infection is very low (i.e. low risk of a TORCH syndrome baby). However, she, like anyone who's had CMV, will ALWAYS have a small chance of having a mildly affected baby... Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
