Preventive measures focus on reducing transmission, especially among high-risk groups. These include:
Good Hygiene Practices: Regular handwashing and avoiding contact with bodily fluids. Screening Pregnant Women: Early detection and counseling can help manage the risk of congenital CMV. CMV-negative Blood and Organs: Use of CMV-negative donors for transfusions and transplants.
Currently, there is no effective vaccine for CMV, although research is ongoing.
