Comparison of cytomegalovirus (CMV) load in urine samples of newborns with congenital CMV (cCMV) infection and hearing loss and in those of newborns with cCMV infection but no hearing loss. DNA was extracted from urine samples collected from newborns within 0–5 days of birth and CMV DNA was quantified by quantitative real-time PCR. (A, B) Number of copies of CMV in 48 newborns with CMV infection but no hearing loss (without hearing loss) and five newborns with CMV infection and hearing loss (with hearing loss) in the screening (p=0.036) and in the follow-up examination (p=0.010). Upper and lower borders of box plots represent the 25th and 75th percentiles and bars in the boxes represent median viral loads. Upper and lower bars indicate maximum and minimum viral load, respectively.
