Résumé
Congenital CMV infection is the leading non-genetic cause of hearing loss and mental retardation. Current recommendations do not recommend routine screening for CMV during pregnancy. Nevertheless, these recommendations find that 25% of health professionals screen for CMV without recommendations, systematically. Method: to carry out this quantitative study, a self-questionnaire was conducted. It targeted health professionals performing pregnancy monitoring in the former Languedoc-Roussillon region. The main objective of this study was to determine the practice of professionals in screening for CMV during pregnancy. Results: the study found that 28% of health professionals routinely screen for CMV during pregnancy. Among these professionals, 82% systematically screen for better antenatal management. Discussion: the difficulty in interpreting CMV serologies is a barrier to screening for CMV during pregnancy. Nevertheless, the demonstrated effectiveness of Valaciclovir to limit the transmission of CMV during pregnancy, is an argument in favor of this screening. Conclusion: professionals tend to systematically detect CMV in pregnant women despite the recommendations. Better prevention in preconception and better information of professionals on the CMV could improve its management.
