Two cases of congenital CMV are being reported, of different clinical presentation during the period of September-October 2013. In both cases a symptomatic improvement is reported after treatment with ganciclovir-valganciclovir. Regarding the follow up of urine viral load, a sustained decrease has been proved during treatment. The main side-effect was the occurrence of anemia
