In order to know the prevalence of antibodies to cytomegalovirus in healthy women, we conducted a seroimmunological survey among 1,885 women, ages 13 to 44 years old, living in a suburban area of Cuernavaca City. Overall, 91.6 per cent of women were seropositive and 8.4 per cent seronegative. The prevalence was not significantly different among women of different ages. Nine out of 10 persons already had antibodies at age 14. One out of ten 15-20 years old women represent the maximum risk of primary infection and, at the same time they represent the population with greatest possibilities of getting pregnant. We found a strong relationship of low education, low income, promiscuity, house without public services and early onset of sexual activity with the presence of antibodies to cytomegalovirus. The risk of exposure to primary infection decreases as these epidemiological markers improve.
为了解健康女性中巨细胞病毒抗体的流行情况，我们对居住在库埃纳瓦卡市郊区、年龄在13至44岁之间的1885名女性进行了血清免疫学调查。总体而言，91.6%的女性血清呈阳性，8.4%血清呈阴性。不同年龄女性的流行率无显著差异。十分之九的人在14岁时就已经有抗体了。十分之一的15至20岁女性代表着原发感染的最大风险，同时她们也是怀孕可能性最大的人群。我们发现，低教育程度、低收入、滥交、没有公共服务的住房以及性活动早开始与巨细胞病毒抗体的存在之间存在密切关系。随着这些流行病学指标的改善，原发感染的暴露风险会降低。
