Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus: An emerging obstetric pathogen?

Article Abstract:

A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in May 2005 that described a cluster of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infections among 4 solid organ recipients has increased awareness of the clinical interest in this pathogen. Chorioretinitis and hydrocephalus are the predominant characteristics among children diagnosed with congenital LCMV infection and obstetricians must educate their pregnant patients about the risks of exposure to laboratory, pet, and wild rodents.
