Cytomegalovirus (CMV) poses risk of significant morbidity, including sepsis-like syndrome, hepatic dysfunction, and cytopenias [1], in very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500 g) infants. CMV positive breastmilk is an important source of neonatal infection [2]. Despite the high prevalence of CMV in breastmilk, rates of acquired postnatal CMV (pCMV) infection in VLBW infants are low [3].

We assessed Bayley III scores at two years adjusted age for EP infants and TR infants born in the same NRN centers and examined by the same assessors who had been trained to reliability [18] and were blinded to gestational age at birth, perinatal events, and prior follow-up findings. The mean composite cognitive, motor, and language scores were 83.9, 83.3, and 80.2, respectively, for the EP infants and 97.5, 98.2, and 97.9, respectively, for the TR group.
