title: [A method of rapid cytodiagnosis of cytomegalic virus infections in pregnant women].
abstract: A cytologic method for rapid detection of specific cytomegaloviral cells (CMC) in cervicovaginal secretion is suggested. This method is more effective than similar CMC detection in salivary and urinary sediments by 1.5 and 3.4 times, respectively. Detection of CMC in the cervicovaginal secretion and not in the salivary or urinary sediments considerably improves the informative value of the method, since it permits a more accurate estimation of the risk of fetal viral infection.
