Screening for a condition should only be undertaken if certain strict criteria are met. Congenital CMV (c CMV) is a leading cause of sensorineuronal hearing loss ( SNHL) and meets many of these criteria, but is not currently screened for in the UK. Ganciclovir reduces CMV-induced progressive SNHL if treatment is begun in the first month of life. The Newborn Hearing Screening Programme ( NHSP) has been shown to identify SNHL at the earliest possible age. The potential of integrating screening for c CMV into the NHSP is discussed to consolidate the link between screening, early diagnosis and management. Conclusion The early diagnosis and treatment of c CMV may prevent a small proportion of late SNHL. In the absence of any screening programme, we provide evidence that clinically targeted screening through the NHSP is a potential option in the UK, enhancing the diagnostic pathway and enabling appropriate early treatment to reduce long-term morbidity.
