title: Serum epidemiological trial on the prevalence of the anti-cytomegalovirus antibodies in patients under substitutive treatment with hemodialysis and CAPD.
abstract: The detection of IgG and IgM anti-cytomegalovirus is very important when movements of serum transaminases are noted in absence of positivity for virus of hepatitis in uremic patients on substitutive treatment; in our patients, we have noted a positivity of 67% for the IgG class. Cytomegalic infection must be taken into consideration for the high parenteral transmissibility in addition to the high grade of immunodepression of uremic patients.
