Have you ever heard of congenital CMV? Probably not, but you should!
In this episode of PASCV: Gone Viral, we dive into congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV), the most common congenital infection that nobody talks about. This episode will be Part I of a two-part series. Your guest host, Dr. Kaisha Gonzalez, is joined by Dr. Megan Pesch, a clinician, researcher, advocate, and mom on a mission who’s here to break down why CMV matters, how it affects newborns, and what we can do to prevent it.
From screening to advocacy to her journey learning American Sign Language, Dr. Pesch shares insights, research, and practical tips for parents and healthcare providers alike. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation!
