“…The present study shows a high CMV IgG overall seroprevalence (92.1%), with no significant differences between rate in women with BOH and that with normal pregnancy. Thus the susceptibility rate in our study population was 7.9%, which was higher to that reported recently for Turkey [11], [17]- [22], Nigeria [23], [24], Brazil [25], Iran [26], [27], Bangladesh [28], Korea [29], and Cuba [30]. However, our study susceptibility was lower than that reported for France [31], Nepal [32], India [13], [33], [34], Switzerland [35], Croatia [36], Malaysia [37], Iran [12], [38], Poland [39], Ireland [10], Russia [40], Taiwan [41], Germany [42], Azerbaijan [43], Bangladesh [44], and Brazil [45].…”

The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the common viral infections worldwide that represent a major cause of congenital infections. To determine the seroprevalence of CMV in women with bad obstetric history and sociodemographic characteristics that may influence the seropositivity, a case control descriptive prospective study was conducted in Kirkuk, Iraq. A 838 women with age range from 14 to 48 were included in the study. Of the total, 547 women were with bad obstetric history (BOH) and 291 women with normal previous pregnancy as control group. All the serum samples collected from the study and control groups were tested for CMV IgM and IgG antibodies by ELISA kits. CMV IgM seroprevalence was higher in women with BOH. CMV IgG seroprevalence was with no significant difference between BOH and control. CMV IgG seroprevalence significantly influenced by age, education, smoking, and family size. However, CMV IgM seroprevalence significantly associated with pregnancy, residence, and animal exposure. Odd ratio confirmed the association between CMV IgG and age, crowding index, residence, smoking, and number of abortion in women with BOH. In addition, current CMV infection significantly associated with residence in women with BOH.

“…The level of maternal immunity observed in this study substantiates previous studies in Nigeria and other developing countries. [9][10][11] This however differs from those reported for developed countries where seroprevalence rates were lower. 12,13 The differences in the prevalence of maternal CMV infection between the developed and developing countries may reflect the low hygienic standard and cultural practices that propagate disease transmission in developing countries.…”

Objective: Vertically transmitted cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common cause of preventable congenital infection, including deafness and intellectual impairment worldwide. Till date, there is no consensus on routine antenatal screening worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of previous and primary CMV infection among antenatal women at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) and the effect of age, socioeconomic class, parity and gestational age on prevalence. Methods:In this descriptive cross-sectional study, blood samples were collected from each of 200 consecutive pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic of the university. Samples were analyzed for CMV specific IgG and IgM using ELISA test kits. A semi-structured researcher administered questionnaire was used to obtain socio-demographic information which included; age, socioeconomic class, parity and gestational age.Results: Seroprevalence of CMV-specific IgG and IgM were 92% and 4% respectively, while 4% were seronegative. There was no significant association between seroprevalence and any of the risk factors (p>0.05). Conclusion

“…In Asian countries such as Malaysia, the seroprevalence of CMV IgG antibodies among pregnant women was reported to be 84.0% [13]. In Nigeria, serological survey conducted in Bida, Lagos and Sokoto among pregnant women found a seroprevalence of 84.2%, 97.2% and 98.7% respectively [9,14,15]. These results shows that CMV is on the rise in Nigerria.…”

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a major public health problem throughout the world. It is the leading cause of congenital infections leading to neurological disabilities in children that result to severe sequelae such as sensor neural hearing loss, neuro-developmental delay and blindness. This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of human cytomegalovirus among pregnant women in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Three hundred and sixty three (363) blood samples were collected from 330 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics and 33 non pregnant women attending the Outpatient Department in three selected General Hospitals in Kaduna State. Serum obtained from the blood samples were examined for the presence of CMV IgG antibodies by IFA method. About 94.8% of pregnant women tested positive to CMV IgG antibodies while all (100%) of the non pregnant women tested positive. There was no statistically significant association between CMV and pregnancy (χ χ χ χ 2 =1.784, df=2, p=0.182). Infection with CMV was strongly associated with zone location (χ χ χ χ 2 =15.381, df,=2, p=0.000) and employment status of the women (χ χ χ χ 2 =5.519, df=1, p=0.018). There was no significant association between CMV infection and age, gravida, gestation age, education, number of marriages and history of previous transfusion. The high prevalence of CMV infection observed in this study indicates that the virus is prevalent in the study area and it is therefore advisable that routine screening of CMV infection be implemented for all antenatal women in the State.
