Literature suggests that gynaecologists do not always adequately inform about preventive behaviour and most pregnant women have a low-level knowledge regarding cCMV infection. The aim of this study is to evaluate knowledge and risk behaviours related to cCMV infection in an unselected group of pregnant women.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2020-0301_abs_002\">\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted in three Maternal and Fetal Divisions in Rome between November and February 2019 on 296 pregnant women, their knowledge on cCMV was measured using six cytomegalovirus (CMV) related questions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2020-0301_abs_003\">\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Out of the 296 respondents, 59.1% had heard, read or seen information about cCMV infection.
