Dépistage prénatal du cytomégalovirus en France : une augmentation des pratiques de prescription de 2000 Ã 2003 malgré l'absence de recommandation favorable

This study providing baseline information on CMV practices showed: 1- a significant increase in the frequency of CMV screening among pregnant women over the period 2000-2002 with a stabilization in 2003; 2- a similar trend observed in each occupation category and geographical area but with a markedly higher frequency of screening practices in the Paris area and among self-employed women. A study measuring the effect of the 2004 ANAES recommendation suggesting not to screen for CMV during pregnancy should be conducted.
