title: [Determination of cytomegalo-, herpes simplex- and rubellavirus-antibodies resp. during perinatal period by Elisa-technique (author's transl)].
abstract: Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infections attract increased attention among viral infections in the pre- und perinatal period resp. The decreasing cell mediated immunity by the end of pregnancy may favour conditions for primary infections or reactivations with CMV. With the Elisa-technique we looked for CMV-specific antibody status in the perinatal period with special respect to striking titers. The same serum samples were screened for antibody status to Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 specific IgG and rubellavirus specific IgG resp. 67% were positive for CMV-IgG, 90% for HSV-type 1-IgG and 93.5% for rubellavirus IgG. CMV-specific IgM antibodies were found in 3.6% but only 1.5% were suspicious for recent CMV-infections according to higher CMV specific IgM titers.
