Differentiating Congenital CMV from Other Congenital Infections

The most important congenital infections, which can be transmitted vertically from mother to fetus are the TORCH infections. These infections have overlapping features and hence, must be differentiated from congenital CMV infection:

Congenital Infection	Cardiac Findings	Skin Findings	Ocular Findings	Hepatosplenomegaly	Hydrocephaly	Microcephaly	Intracranial Calcifications	Hearing deficits
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)	✔	Petechiae Purpura	Chorioretinitis	✔	—	✔	Periventricular calcifications	✔
Toxoplasmosis	—	Petechiae Purpura Maculopapular rash	Chorioretinitis	✔	✔	✔	Diffuse intracranial calcifications	—
Treponema pallidum	—	Petechiae Purpura Maculopapular rash	Chorioretinitis Glaucoma	✔	—	—	—	—
Rubella	Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) Pulmonary artery stenosis Coarctation of the aorta Myocarditis	Petechiae Purpura	Chorioretinitis Cataracts Glaucoma Microphthalmia	✔	✔	✔	—	✔
