KB Fowler, SB Boppana - Journal of Clinical Virology, 2006 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: The association between congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and
sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was first described in 1964. Studies over the past four
decades have further described the relationship between congenital CMV infection and
SNHL in children. OBJECTIVES: This manuscript will review the current knowledge of CMV-
related SNHL and summarize the studies completed at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham (UAB). STUDY DESIGN: A review of the series of studies at UAB that has led to …
