Episode: cCMV (Part 2): Prevention, and Care.
Description: June is CMV awareness month. And that’s the keyword there… Awareness! The way we prevent CMV transmission is by awareness. It would be great to have a vaccine against this virus, but we just don’t…yet. Until a safe and effective CMV vaccine is clinically available, primary prevention of cCMV relies on patient education and hygiene measures. In this episode, will take a look at this strategy and see what the data has to say about it. Will also discuss the very controversial (and non-ACOG recommended) use of antiviral medication’s for primary, perinatal CMV.
