About this study
Official title: Congenital Cytomegalovirus: Prevalence in Buenos Aires City
The goal of this observational study is to recognise the prevalnce of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) and to follow up positive babies until 12 months The main questions it aims to answer are: pevalence of cCMV, cCMV clinicals outcomes during the first year of life.
Participants will be screened with a salive swab for CMV DNA. Babies with positive results will be follow up for one year.
Read the detailed description
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a frequent cause of congenital infection and a leading nongenetic cause of sensorineural hearing loss. In most infants with congenital CMV infection, clinical abnormalities do not manifest at birth; rather, the infection is asymptomatic. However, sensorineural hearing loss eventually develops in approximately 10 to 15% of CMV positive children.
The prevalence of congenital cytomegalovirus has been reported as 0·2% to 2·0% (average of 0·64%). There is not any publication of the prevalence of cCMV in Buenos Aires City. We aim the study to find the prevalence in this population Screening of newborns for CMV infection permit early identification of at-risk congenitally infected infants for purposes of targeted monitoring and intervention during critical stages of speech and language development.
Testing saliva via DNA detection of the virus through polymerase chain reaction testing (PCR) or rapid culture is shown to have a high sensitivity (>97%) and specificity (99%) for detecting congenital CMV infection.
Our objective is to describe the prevalence of cCMV using saliva specimens for PCR detection.
Secondary objectives includes describing prevalence of neurosensorial hearing loss and visual impairments during 1 year follow up.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Congenital Cytomegalovirus, run by Hospital de Niños R. Gutierrez de Buenos Aires at 3 sites in Argentina.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Argentina. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Daniela Satragno, MD (+541149625649, dsatragno@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
prevalence of cCMV (time frame: 5 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05630898, which also lists 18 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
