Prevalence of cytomegalovirus cervical excretion in pregnant women in Hong Kong.
In 1986 a study was made on the prevalence of cervical colonization by cytomegalovirus (CMV) in normal third trimester pregnant Chinese women in Hong Kong. Seven out of 95 unselected subjects had positive CMV culture, making a prevalence of 7.4%. This is a low prevalence when compared with the prevalence found in other people of Asian origin and similar to the prevalence found in the Caucasians.
