Is the mixture of human cytomegalovirus genotypes frequent in infants with congenital infection at birth in a high seroprevalence population?

Abstract excerpt

It is still not well known, in a population with high human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) seroprevalence, whether a child with congenital infection harbors multiple viral strains at birth, and whether the prolonged viral excretion in these children is secondary to the persistence of the same viral strain. To verify the genomic diversity of HCMV detected in congenitally infected children, the nucleotide viral sequences...
