Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading infectious cause of congenital neurological disabilities. Valacyclovir and CMV hyperimmune globulin (HIG) may reduce vertical transmission and sequelae in neonates. A systematic review on valacyclovir and CMV HIG in preventing vertical transmission or reducing sequelae in neonates was conducted to 3 September 2021. Valacyclovir as a preventive strategy was supported by a well-conducted randomized controlled trial. Evidence supporting valacyclovir as a treatment strategy was limited to observational studies at moderate risk of bias. CMV HIG was not supported as a preventive strategy in 2 randomized controlled trials, which contrasted with observational studies. Evidence favoring CMV HIG as a treatment strategy was limited to observational studies at moderate risk of bias. The role of valacyclovir and CMV HIG in CMV infection in pregnancy is still being defined. Valacyclovir to prevent vertical transmission has the highest quality evidence in favor of use.
