Facts about CMV/HSV/Syphilis

CMV testing should be done within 2-3 weeks of birth to determine if it is congenital.

CMV is a member of the herpesvirus family, which includes herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus, and Epstein-Barr virus.

An estimated 491 million people aged 15–49 (13%) worldwide have herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection, the leading cause of genital herpes.

About 10% of babies with congenital CMV have signs, such as jaundice, rash, microcephaly, or low weight, at birth.
