AB A longitudinal study should be undertaken only when there is a clear
reason to justify this and a reasonable chance of achieving the
objectives. A multidisciplinary approach is often required, and
continuity of staff and long-term collaboration with colleagues are
important for their success. A longitudinal approach is required to
estimate the prevalence of an infection in pregnancy and the rate of
vertical transmission and to clarify the natural history in infected
children. An example of cytomegalovirus infection is given; the
parallels with HIV are obvious.
