This is the first time seroprevalence of antibody to these nine infectious diseases have been available for LAC. Differences in the race and ethnicity distribution of the United States and LAC were observed. Because disease prevalence varies by race and ethnicity, in some instances these demographic differences affected the population differences seen between the United States and LAC in the se...

background : cytomegalovirus (cmv) is the most common cause of congenital infection, with increased morbidity and mortality at birth. the risk of intrauterine infection largely depends on the time of maternal infection during pregnancy. currently, no national screening test for cmv infection is available during pregnancy in iran. the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of cmv ...

There is a strong relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and health outcomes in the United States, although the mechanisms are poorly understood. Increasing evidence points to links between lifelong exposure to infectious disease and subsequent chronic disease. Exposure and susceptibility to infections may be one way SES affects long-term health, although little population-based resear...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) seroprevalence among U.S. children 1 to 5 years old was assessed in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2011 to 2012. The overall seroprevalence (95% confidence interval) of IgG was 20.7% (14.4 to 28.2%), that of IgM was 1.1% (0.4 to 2.4%), and that of low IgG avidity was 3.6% (1.7 to 6.6%), corresponding to a 17.3% (10.1 to 26.7%) prevalence of recent ...

OBJECTIVES Immune response to cytomegalovirus (CMV) impacts adult chronic disease. This study investigates associations of childhood and adulthood social environment, socioeconomic position (SEP) and social mobility with CMV response in young adults. DESIGN Historical prospective study design. SETTING Subcohort of all 17 003 births to residents of Jerusalem between 1974 and 1976. PARTICIP...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)is a member of the Herpes viridae family, its seroprevalence is high in general population. CMV infection immunocompromised serious, sometimes fatal complication that can affect several organs. For immunocompetent patients, this usually pauci- or asymptomatic, which evolves spontaneously favorably and does not require specific treatment. However, primary be exceptionally se...

BACKGROUND Primary maternal infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV), parvovirus B19 (B19V), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) may result in adverse pregnancy outcomes like congenital infection or foetal loss. Women working in child day care have an increased exposure to CMV, B19V, and VZV. By comparing the seroprevalence of IgG-class antibodies against CMV, VZV and B19V in female day care workers (...

This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of Cytomegalovirus virus (CMV) infection among pregnant women in Ad Dhale'e city, Yemen. A cross-sectional was conducted 130 attended for routine antenatal care Al-Nasser hospital Ad-Dhale'e city. Serum obtained and tested seropositivity CMV IgG IgM using electro-chemiluminescence immunoassays (ECLIA) test. Of blood sample, 122 (93.8 %) 5 (3.8%) ...

The aim of this study was to analyze the seroprevalence of rubella and cytomegalia among young women. The study included 175 healthy women from the Biała Podlaska District, aged 16 to 35 years. Anti-rubella and anti-CMV IgG were determined by ELISA. 172 (98.3%) study subjects tested positive for rubella antibodies, 1 (0.6%) was seroindeterminate and 2 (1.1%) were seronegative. CMV antibodies we...
