1 Congenital CMV infection the first years of life Jacob Amir 2017

2 Congenital CMV infection - introduction Is the most common cause of non-hereditary hearing loss. Is the most frequent viral cause of mental retardation in developed countries. In approximately 1:750 live birth infants, permanent disabilities occur,loriv )2007 dem ver :CS drallod(

3 Congenital CMV Epidemiology Congenital infection occurs in approximately 1% of live births. Most cases are subclinical. In the USA, out of approximately 44,000 infants annually - 4,400 have S & S of cong. CMV. In Israel, the calculated numbers of infants will be 1,700 per year.

4 Natural history of primary maternal infection with CMV Periconceptional- fetal infection 5-20% First trimester- fetal infection 35% infants sequellae 25-30% Second trimester- fetal infection 40% infants sequellae 20% Third trimester- fetal infection 50% infants sequellae < 5%

5 Natural history of infant with congenital CMV (primary maternal infection) Asymptomatic infant- 15% late onset hearing loss Mild symptomatic- SNHL %, neurodevelopmental disorders % Moderate symptomatic-snhl - 70% neurodevelopmental disorders-40-70% Sever symptomatic SNHL- 70%, vision disorder- 10%, neurodevelopmental disorders->95%

11 Infants screening Generalized screening Targeted screening

12 In Israel, screening for CMV infection is not recommended by the ministry of health However, screening is frequently performed before or during the first trimester of pregnancy Amniocentesis is performed in mothers with a primary infection in order to detect fetal infection.

16 To evaluate the outcome of infants born to mothers with positive amniotic fluid for CMV after primary infection in the first and second trimester. Short- and intermediate term followup of these infants.

17 The diagnosis of primary CMV infection: 1. Seroconversion of IgG from negative to positive during pregnancy; 2. Low IgG with low avidity in the presence of specific IgM and a significant rise in IgG and avidity at a later date 3. Clinical symptoms (fever >10 days, rash, weakness, elevated liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia) in the presence of positive specific IgM and increased titers of IgG with low avidity.

18 Amniocentesis to detect fetal CMV is performed after 21 completed weeks of gestation and at least 7 weeks after the assumed date of infection. Fetal CMV infection is diagnosed when the virus is detected in the amniotic fluid by both PCR and rapid shell vial culture.

19 Fetal brain US Fetal brain MRI Normal fetal brain imaging

20 Funduscopy Ultrasonography (brain US) Blood tests, CBC, liver and kidney function. Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) during the first 2 weeks of life and again every 3-6 months through age 2 years. behavioral hearing tests are performed from age 2 to 5 years. Tympanometry is performed in patients with an abnormal BERA test and suspected conduction problems. If middle ear dysfunction is found, BERA is repeated after a few weeks, and only the bone-conduction results are used.

21 Full physical examination and neurological and developmental assessments are performed in the neonatal period, and every 3-6 months thereafter. Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3 rd Edition (Bayley-III) was administered to a subgroup of the patients at age 1-3 years by a clinical psychologist

22 IV ganciclovir 5mg/kg twice a day for 6 weeks followed by oral valganciclovir, 17mg/kg/dose in 2 daily doses for another 6 weeks and then 1 daily dose for 9 months. ( ) Valganciclovir 17mg/kg/dose (Amir J, Eur J Pediatr in 2,2010( daily doses for 12 weeks followed by 1 daily dose for 9 months. ( )

23 Between January 2007 and January 2013, 101 infants (>1Y) with known primary maternal CMV infection in our clinic. 3 cases were lost to follow-up All infants were diagnosed by positive amniotic fluid confirmed by positive urine culture after birth. 98 are seen routinely in our clinic

54 Conclusion In children with late-onset hearing loss due to congenital CMV infection, treatment with ganciclovir/valganciclovir beyond the neonatal period appears to be beneficial in preventing further deterioration and inducing improvement. Controlled studies are needed to verify this observation.

59 בסיכום הפרוגנוזה של ילדים עם CMV מולד והדמיה תוך רחמית תקינה היא טובה מאד עם מעט מאוד נזקים לטווח ארוך בילדים שנולדו לאימהות שלא היו במעקב במהלך ההיריון, הפרוגנוזה תלויה במידת הנזק. אם הנזק התוך רחמי היה קל או בינוני, טיפול מוקדם ישפר חלק גדול מהם. אלה שנולדו עם נזק קשה, השפעת הטיפול קטנה, אולי רק תשפר שמיעה.

60 סיכום האתגרים לעתיד איתור תינוקות עם הדבקה לא ראשונית מסוג הדבקה חוזרת טיפול בזמן ההיריון למניעת הדבקת העובר CMV ל חיסון
