Information for Health Professionals

In February 2023, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Newborn Screening Program became the first in the nation to screen all newborns for congenital CMV. These resources provide information about congenital CMV and may help health professionals as they educate patients about CMV or provide care to affected children and their families.   

For information to share with families after a child is diagnosed with congenital CMV, visit CMV Information for Families.
