A 3074 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires reporting of positive cytomegalovirus results

This bill requires local health departments to immediately notify a newborn's pediatrician and parents when a positive cytomegalovirus (CMV) test is identified in a newborn. It mandates confirmatory urine testing for infants under three weeks old and ensures follow-up care by a pediatric infectious disease specialist before the baby turns four weeks old, including head measurements, eye exams, hearing tests, and blood work. The law also adds CMV to the list of reportable communicable diseases under public health regulations. This directly affects newborns with CMV, their parents, pediatricians, and hospital staff responsible for reporting and care coordination.
