title: Anti-HCMV serologic response in patients with acute viral hepatitis.
abstract: The authors point out a high serological incidence of HCMV infection in the course of HCV hepatitis compared to a low incidence detected in HBV and HAV hepatitis. Three immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgM, and IgA) specific to HCMV were investigated. Antibody titers of each immunoglobulin class are reported for all the cases of HCMV infection.
