Disease state

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV), a herpes virus, can pass from mother to unborn baby, causing congenital CMV (cCMV) and may lead to severe morbidity or mortality. Transmitted in blood via the placenta to the fetus, when the mother has primary CMV infection, up to 40% of fetuses are at risk, and 1-2% when CMV is reactivated during pregnancy.

CMV is the most common congenital infection worldwide, 1 out of 200 infants are born with cCMV infection in the U.S. annually. Newborns can progress to long-term health problems, non-genetic childhood hearing loss, and neurodevelopmental delays. At birth, newborns can be symptomatic (10%) or asymptomatic (90%), and both subgroups can develop hearing defects.

Diagnosis of cCMV is critical for early intervention. Infants with cCMV shed high levels of CMV in urine and saliva. Screening in saliva and confirming in urine provides a definitive diagnosis for congenital CMV per testing guidelines.

The value of Simplexa® Congenital CMV Direct Kit

Provides accurate cCMV diagnosis in neonates by removing false positives

The power of saliva and urine cCMV testing

Mothers shed CMV through breast milk which may cause false positives shortly after feeding. Testing in urine is critical for definitive diagnosis in infants.

Operational efficiencies with accurate reporting

Minimize time to confirmed infections by running saliva and urine in the same run eliminating repeat patient testing in possible saliva false positives.

Clinical performance for timely action

High performance in clinical trials with 100% sensitivity (PPA) and 100%/98.6% specificity respectively in Urine/Saliva (retrospective study).
