Working on the November update to the CMV Action What Support to Expect: Evidence-based guidelines for managing congenital CMV in the UK. The first set of evidence-based UK guidelines for the detection and treatment of congenital CMV were published in 2011 (Kadambari et al, Early Hum Dev. 2011 Nov;87(11):723-8. Epub 2011 Sep 29). The CMV Action document sets out the key points from the guidelines, checked by medical experts (Dr Suzanne Luck and Dr Paul Griffiths) and is now updated according to new evidence available. This is so families know what to expect and what to ask for. These are broad guidelines about what tests and monitoring to expect. Research into best treatment for congenital CMV is an emerging area and not all studies are conclusive. The availability of some tests will also be different across local areas. Nevertheless, we hope this booklet will help families to understand what tests their child may have and why. We will post when the latest update is available to download from our website.
