  Purpose

This study is designed to evaluate maternal virological and immunological parameters to determine their ability to predict congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. When a pregnant woman is infected with CMV, her immune system (which protects her from infection) is activated and the virus can be found in the woman's bodily fluids (blood, saliva, urine, vaginal secretions). The aim of this study is to find out if there is a link between either the pregnant woman's immune response or the presence of the virus in these bodily fluids and the child/foetus being infected with the virus.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Occurrence of congenital CMV infection in newborns or foetuses of subjects who had a confirmed primary CMV infection during pregnancy. [ Time Frame: During pregnancy and at pregnancy conclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Evidence of CMV in saliva, urine, blood or vaginal secretions of pregnant subjects with a confirmed primary CMV infection at protocol-defined timepoints. [ Time Frame: From study entry to, and including, pregnancy conclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Assessment of antibody responses to CMV of pregnant subjects with a confirmed primary CMV infection at protocol-defined timepoints. [ Time Frame: Every two months from study entry to, and including, pregnancy conclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Assessment of the cell-mediated immune responses of pregnant subjects with a confirmed primary CMV infection at protocol-defined timepoints. [ Time Frame: Every two months from study entry to, and including, pregnancy conclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Evidence of CMV in saliva, urine, blood or vaginal secretions of pregnant subjects with a confirmed primary CMV infection at protocol-defined timepoints. [ Time Frame: Every month (saliva, urine, vaginal secretions) and every two months (blood) from study entry to, and including (except for vaginal secretions), pregnancy conclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
