Abstract

In 2008-2018, 89 pregnant women registered at the Beaumonde Clinic were observed with only cytomegalovirus activity. Laboratory tests for cytomegalovirus were performed 4 times in total, and ultrasound examination was performed 3 times during pregnancy. The results were distributed as follows: (1) We could have assumed with high probability that we had reinfection processes and not a primary infection. (2) During the ultrasound examinations, no significant organic disturbances in the development of the fetus were detected. (3) In all cases, various morphological changes were observed in the placenta, which are not specific for CMV and are found during any infectious process: premature aging of the placenta, increase in thickness and enhanced calcification. Degenerative changes in placental tissues increase the risk of perinatal loss. (4) As a result of childbirth, all newborns were born without visible pathology. However, this did not rule out latent disease and later detected pathologies.
