Research Abstract

We established Cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain-specific real time PCR, and found that only a single genotype determined by CMV gH neutralizing epitope was found in the urine from neonates with congenital CMV infection, even though the case possessed antibodies against multiple CMV strains. Our results showed that CMV reinfection also caused congenital CMV infection.
