Abstract：
:A seroepidemiologic study of prevalence of antibody to cytomegalovirus (CMV) was simultaneously done in four populations: group I, nuns working as nurses or school teachers; group II, women admitted to a upper socioeconomic private hospital; group III, women admitted to a lower socioeconomic county hospital, and group and IV women attending a veneral disease clinic. Groups II, III and IV, were not statistically different and showed an abrupt rise in antibody prevalence during your adulthood. Group I, however, did not show the expected abrupt rise in antibody prevalence during young adulthood, and the prevalence in this group was singificantly lower than that in the other three groups at all but the oldest age range. These differences could not be accounted for by race, socioeconomic status or respiratory exposure to CMV. The data suggest that there may be more than one mechanism of CMV transmission and that venereal or intimate salivary contact may be a significant mode of spread in adults.
