• Abstract:

  The seroprevalence of CMV infection, is still little known in the population

  of pregnant women in the Northeast region of Brazil. Being the CMV agent responsible

  for one of the most serious infections contracted during pregnancy because of the

  consequences of foetal infection. The objective of the present study was to estimate the

  seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus in pregnant women seen in municipal public health

  network of Caxias in the year 2012. A study of quantitative approach and exploratorydescriptive

  prevalence goal, including 135 pregnant women subjected to serology for

  CMV, from July to December 2012. The following variables were analyzed: results of

  the serology (prior infection, susceptibility or active infection), age, origin, education,

  medical history, lifestyle habits, gestational age, number of pregnancies, number of

  abortions. Statistical analysis was performed with the Epi-Info 3.5.3, using Chi-square

  tests of Association. The seroprevalence of CMV (IgG reagent) was of 93.3% and

  4.4% susceptibility. There was a significant association between seroprevalence of

  CMV and origin, with a higher frequency of pregnant women from the urban area of

  the municipality (92.6%). The habit of drinking cups used by others was statistically

  significant for the seroprevalence of CMV, taking a 54.1% percentage of pregnant

  women with this custom. The frequency of CMV in people located is relatively consistent

  with the rates set out in Brazil. But reinforces the importance of conducting serology for

  CMV during prenatal care, as well as new research in the area.
