| Abstract: | A case is presented in which cytomegalovirus was isolated from the amniotic fluid at 36 weeks' gestation in a pregnancy complicated by cytomegalovirus hepatitis at 10 weeks of gestation. Abnormalities noted in the newborn infant included an undescended testis, right equinovarus, and hypotonia. All cultures revealed cytomegalovirus. Subsequent immunoglobulin studies, chest x-ray film, and bone films were all normal. |
