Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common cause of viral intra-uterine infection. The experience with prenatal diagnosis remains limited and is based on few reports of small numbers of cases. It is thus difficult to compare the accuracy of the different tests because the groups studied were sm

Two major variables may cause false-negative results in prenatal diagnosis of congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection: sensitivity of the technique(s) used; and time elapsed between maternal infection and antenatal testing. Previous results indicated that rapid HCMV isolation from amniotic
