Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is a common infection that can pass from a pregnant person to their baby before birth. It can cause hearing loss and developmental challenges in babies, but most people have never heard of it. If it is found early, doctors can start treatment and support that can improve a child’s health and long term outcomes. The issue is that most babies are never tested, so many cases are missed. Universal screening would mean all newborns are tested so infections are caught early and babies can get help sooner.
