Viral infections that mothers catch during pregnancy still cause much illness in babies either in the womb, or after birth. One of these infections called CMV causes more babies to be born with malformation in Australia than any other infection, and is second only to cerebral palsy as a cause of serious problems in babies. Our studies are examining CMV in mothers and babies, leading to better diagnostic tests, researching use of existing and new antiviral drugs to reduce infection in these mothers and babies.

母亲在怀孕期间感染的病毒仍然会在婴儿的子宫内或出生后导致许多疾病。在澳大利亚，其中一种名为CMV的感染导致的婴儿出生时畸形比其他任何感染都多，是仅次于脑瘫的婴儿严重问题的第二大原因。我们的研究正在检测母亲和婴儿中的CMV，导致更好的诊断测试，研究使用现有的和新的抗病毒药物来减少这些母亲和婴儿的感染。
