CMV Infection in Patients with Profound Hearing Loss
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Our aim was to find out the prevalence of cytomegalovirus infection among the TORCH (toxoplasma, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex) infections in children with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Our study involved 140 patients who were presented to deafness clinic in ENT OPD of Pacific Medical college and Hospital, Udaipur between January 2014 and July 2018. Out of 140 patients, 107 had TORCH laboratory results. 60 were positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG antibody while 42 were positive for rubella IgG and 5 patients were positive for toxoplasmosis IgG antibodies. No patient showed positive results for herpes simplex and syphilis. All 107 patients who had TORCH laboratory results were above the age of 1 year, and all the patients had bilateral profound SNHL, thence it was difficult to differentiate between acquired and congenital infection of TORCH virus. Though the study was not ment for the diagnosis and corrective treatment of viral pathologies, our aim was to find out the incidence of CMV infection among TORCH virus infection in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss.
