Abstract

The results of the Complement Fixation Test on the cytomegalovirus (CMVV) antibodies in 138 children admitted to the Gadjah Mada University Hospital revealed seropositive conversion as high as 56.6%. The percentage of seropositive was higher in older children. This investigation suggested that seroconversion in adults might play a role in CMV infection during child bearing period.
