Is detection of cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) DNA by polymerase chain reaction associated with hearing loss in newborns with symptomatic congenital CMV infection involving the central nervous system?
In children with symptomatic congenital CMV infection involving the CNS, viremia during early infancy is associated with hearing loss and systemic CMV disease.
Auditory feature processing is reflected by P1-P2 and N2-N4 peaks and matures earlier than supra-sensory integrative mechanisms, reflected by N1-P2 peaks. Auditory P2 appears to pertain to both processing types.
