Beckwith-wiedemann syndrome is associated with congenital cytomegalovirus in an hiv-exposed neonate

Abstract

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is associated with preterm birth and congenital abnormalities, which could be exacerbated by maternal co-infection with HIV. This case report describes an HIV-exposed neonate with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), born by a mother who had a CMV infection of the placenta, who demised following laparoscopic repair of an omphalocele.
