Abstract

We examined seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) of pregnant women for 18 years since 1980 with complement-fixing antibody (CF) and specific IgG antibody. CF seropositive rate decreased gradually from 93.2% to 66.7%. CMV-IgG Seropositive rates were 87.4% in 1985, and 75.2% in 1996 to 1997. Age and parity of pregnant women associated with the immune status; 35.6% of recent young primipara were susceptible.
