title: Serological survey of antibodies to cytomegalovirus in the Santa Cruz region of Bolivia.
abstract: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is known to be worldwide, and prevalent in developing countries (Krech & Tobin 1981). To our knowledge, no previous serologic studies of CMV infection have been reported from Bolivia. The present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of CMV infection in the Santa Cruz region, south-eastern Bolivia.
