Abstract | This Study Investigates The Hypothesis That Hirschsprung's Disease (Hd), Congenital Rectal Aganglionosis, May Be Etiologically Linked To Antenatal Cytomegalovirus (Cmv) Infection. Bowel Specimens From 72 Hd Patients, 144 Control I Infants (Hirschsprung-Like Symptoms, Normal Histology), And 36 Control Ii Infants (Deaths From Nongastrointestinal Causes) Were Analyzed For Cmv Genomes By Polymerase Chain Reaction. Positive Results Were Obtained In 6 Hd Patients (8.8%) And None Of The Controls. Our Findings Suggest That Antenatal Cmv Infection, A Potentially Preventable Condition, May Be One Of The Etiological Factors In Hd. |
