Urine and Saliva Viral Load in Children with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection.

ABSTRACT: Viral load in infant saliva and urine was assessed to predict sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection. Viral load was higher in symptomatic infants. Viral load in asymptomatic children with and without SNHL did not differ. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection viral load in urine and saliva does not predict hearing loss.
