title: [Clinical characteristics of infections with cytomegalovirus in infants from personal observations].
abstract: An infection with cytomegaly virus had been diagnosed in 13 infants (including 4 neonates examined up to 2 weeks of life) out of 960 infants hospitalized within 3 years. Clinical examination most frequently revealed hepato- and splenomegaly, pneumonia and neurological disorders, and during a further stage of the clinical course psychomotoric retardation was noted in 7 out of 13 infants, and hearing loss in 5 out of 13 infants. A specific immunoglobulin G preparation (Cytotect) has been successfully used in all children, producing recovery or clinical improvement together with serologic improvement.
