ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of congenital viral infections. Women seropositive for CMV prior to pregnancy can develop a non-primary CMV infection. Here, we present a case of first trimester pregnancy loss during active SARS-CoV-2 infection. There was no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in placenta and fetal tissue, but there was presence of congenital cytomegalovirus infection by nested PCR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating association of early congenital CMV infection due to reactivation and fetal demise in a SARS-CoV-2 positive woman with fetal trisomy 21.
