Research Abstract

We have registered infants and toddlers who were born or lived in Nagasaki Prefecture with any of the following medical problems: bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss, congenital hydrocephalus, refractory epilepsy (mostly, West syndrome) and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).We collected their dried umbilical cord or dried blood spot specimens for detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) DNA. We could demonstrate congenital CMV infection in some of those infants including two children with PDD; however, HHV-6 DNA was not detected from any of those specimens.
