If those women could be encouraged to delay pregnancy just a few years from when many get pregnant now--in their early or middle 20s--this could produce a tremendous reduction in cases of congenital CMV infection, Dr. Marshall, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Louisville (Ky.), said in a poster presentation.
