Résumé 0

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
