Abstract
|
|
|
|
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the leading identified nongenetic cause of congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). In symptomatic CMV infected infants, systemic ganciclovir therapy prevents hearing deterioration or maintains normal hearing in early childhood. In this article, we present a case of hearing improvement in a congenital CMV infected infant with SNHL.
