CMV is a virus that can infect people of all ages, and most people have no symptoms. When a baby is born with CMV infection, it is called congenital CMV. About one out of every 200 babies is born with congenital CMV infection. About one in five babies with congenital CMV infection will have long-term health problems. Screening for CMV in certain newborns is required by law.
