Recovery of CMV from the cervix or urine of women at or before the time of delivery does not warrant a cesarean section. The demonstrated benefits of breast-feeding outweigh the minimal risk of acquiring CMV from the breast-feeding mother. There is no need to either screen for CMV or exclude CMV-excreting children from schools or institutions because the virus is frequently found in many healthy children and adults.Treatment with hyperimmune globulin in mothers with primary CMV infection has been shown to be effective in preventing congenital disease in several studies. One study did not show significant decrease in the risk of congenital cytomegalovirus infection. Childcare
Most healthy people working with infants  and children face no special risk from CMV infection. However, for women of child-bearing age who previously have not been infected with CMV, there is a potential risk to the developing unborn child (the risk is described above in the Pregnancy section). Contact with children who are in day care, where CMV infection is commonly transmitted among young children (particularly toddlers), may be a source of exposure to CMV. Since CMV is transmitted through contact with infected body fluids, including urine and saliva, child care providers (meaning day care workers, special education teachers, as well as mothers) should be educated about the risks of CMV infection and the precautions they can take.
They created Hunters Hope - a foundation that seeks to advance Newborn Screening, research and treatments, and provides support to families of leukodystrophy children.Family advocacy is a critical part of advancing newborn screening, and many Krabbe families have made significant advocacy progress in their states.As an example, Cove Ellis is a child from Georgia, United States who was diagnosed with the disease in early 2016. Ellis family, along with her community, has worked to raise awareness of the disease and helped pass "Coves Law", which provides parents the option to have prenatal screening for the disease, which can, potentially, save the child from the morbidity and mortality of Krabbe disease. Other animals
Krabbe disease is found in mice may also be found in cats and in dogs, particularly the West Highland White Terriers and Cairn Terriers. See also
