The National CMV Foundation (NCMVF) is the only national
nonprofit comprised of a network of advocates and professionals whose mission
is to prevent pregnancy loss, childhood death, and disability due to
cCMV.
About 1 in 200 children are born with cCMV and about 1 in 5
of those children will have a permanent health condition or disability. NCMVF
works to inform and educate communities about the risks of cCMV infection,
especially among pregnant women. Children born with CMV may have birth defects
and experience significant developmental disabilities. Unfortunately, and
despite this reality, CMV remains the most common infection babies are born
within the U.S. Learn more about the National CMV Foundation.
