Abstract

From 2009-2015 to 2016-2019, the proportion of infants in the US with congenital cytomegalovirus treated with valganciclovir roughly doubled for infants enrolled with employer-sponsored insurance (from 16% to 29%) and Medicaid (from 16% to 36%). The proportion treated with valganciclovir increased for all congenital cytomegalovirus disease severity groups.
