There is about 50-80% of women who became infected with CMV by 40 years old. This case is very rare if a woman got infected with CMV before becoming pregnant, the chance would be 1 in 100 (CDC). This is interesting fact for pregnant women that are at risks is “For pregnant women, the two most common exposures to CMV are through sexual contact and through contact with the urine and saliva of young children with CMV infection” (CDC). Also, the Science Direct article stated, “In developed countries 50% of women of child-bearing age are seropositive. In developing countries CMV is often acquired earlier in life due to higher breastfeeding rates and crowded living conditions, and up to 90% of child-bearing aged women may be seropositive (SDPCH). The Science Direct article stated that in developed (past) countries who born with Congenital CMV is about 0.6 and 0.7%. Currently, the rates increased 1% to 5% with Congenital CMV (SDPCH). This article “Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine” stated that Congenital CMV infection is most single cause of sensorineural hearing loss or deafness during childhood. About 10-15% of the infants with Congenital CMV have hearing loss currently. The disease has developed in first 6 years in children with symptomatic and asymptomatic infection. Therefore, children with symptomatic neonatal infection have more chance to get hearing loss at earlier age than children with asymptomatic infection (SFNM). I became deaf at earlier age (9 months old after birth-my hearing loss caused by symptomatic neonatal infection). Of course, this disease have symptoms that might not see or overlooked. About 90 out of every 100 infants who got infected with CMV that appear healthy at birth. But at same time, health problems or disabilities are caused by congenital infection that may appear later more than 2 years. About 80 of every 100 infants with congenital CMV
