The asymptomatic infection during pregnancy which can result in deafness and mental retardation in the newborn.
Introduction:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a large herpes virus that causes infections of white blood cells. It stays as a latent infection with slow replication and produces an inclusion of bodies within cells. If the virus is transmitted vertically to the fetus, it results in hearing loss and mental retardation in neonates.

- The vertical transmission of certain communicable diseases from mother-to-child during pregnancy and birth is of great concern to public health practitioners because it represents a critical period for intervention. If practitioners can determine at birth whether the disease has been transmitted from mother-to-child, they can act immediately to provide the child with treatment. Syphilis is a disease with high risk for vertical transmission from mother-to-child. If a child becomes infected and is not treated, there can be negative health outcome such as blindness, deafness, and neurological damage. Inspired by the advent of rapid HIV tests that provide quick results and are minimally invasive, suppose that researchers have been working to develop a similar test that can be used for syphilis. After obtaining appropriate institutional approval and patient consent, the researchers test their rapid syphilis test at several birthing hospitals and compare it to the gold standard laboratory…arrow_forwardThe vertical transmission of certain communicable diseases from mother-to-child during pregnancy and birth is of great concern to public health practitioners because it represents a critical period for intervention.
