CMV 2021 2nd Congress on Congenital CMV 21 – 22 OCTOBER 2021 Rome, Italy
Scientific Goal
The most prevalent congenital infection and the first cause of non genetic hearing loss continues to be largely ignored or misunderstood outside expert circles. We invite all care providers to attend this meeting to meet the experts and improve their practice for a better outcome.
Congress Topics
- The risks in pregnancy are well defined
- Screening and diagnostic tools are efficient, and quality control is effective
- Primary prevention is part of preconceptional medicine
- Vaccine technology has been revolutionized by the COVID pandemic
- Diagnosis is as reliable prenatally and postnatally
- Secondary and tertiary prevention are efficient and should be widely implemented
- Postnatal care has been simplified and rationalized
- Sensorineural hearing loss is not a fatality
- Are there any late complications other than hearing impairment is asymptomatic children?
- Sensorineural hearing loss is not a fatality
- Hearing rehabilitation in cCMV children with unilateral hearing loss
- Is there an association between CMV infections and ADD/Autism/Schizophrenia?
- Brain imaging for children with cCMV – Ultrasound or MRI?
- Universal screening for cCMV
- Early diagnosis of cCMV using Chorionic villus sampling
- Vestibular problems in symptomatic and asymptomatic cCMV
- What can we offer to asymptomatic children with late onset hearing loss?
The 2nd Congress on Congenital Cytomegalovirus 2021 was aimed at a diverse group of healthcare professionals involved in the care and research of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV). The target audience included:
- Pediatricians
- Infectious Disease Specialists
- Obstetricians/Gynecologists
- Nurses and Nurse Practitioners
- Physician Assistants
- Researchers and Scientists in the field of CMV and related areas
This event provided a platform for these professionals to discuss the latest research, clinical practices, and advancements in the understanding and management of congenital CMV.
