June is National Cytomegalovirus Awareness Month!

When a baby is born with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, it is called CMV. Most babies with congenital CMV never show signs or have health problems. However, some babies have health problems at birth or that develop later. Some babies with congenital CMV infection have health problems that are apparent at birth or that develop later during infancy or childhood. In the most severe cases, CMV can cause the death of an unborn baby (pregnancy loss). Some babies without signs of congenital CMV infection at birth may have hearing loss.

Why you should choose a board-certified OB GYN

The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) offers board certification in the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology and in five subspecialties. Board certification is a voluntary pursuit. Physicians are only required to secure a medical license to practice medicine in any given state. Physicians who choose to pursue certification are enhancing their medical knowledge beyond that required of state licensure.
