title: [Cytomegalovirus infection in Omsk region].
abstract: Epidemiologic studies of prevalence of cytomegalovirus infection (CMVI) in Omsk region during a period of 15 years showed 1.6-fold increase of population seropositivity to CMV with rate of increase +2.94. In recent years antibodies to CMV were detected in 90.3 - 94.8% of cases. Diagnostics of innate and acquired CMVI was improved. Feasibility of detection of infectious process activity during complex use of new laboratory methods (IgA detection, assessment of IgG avidity, IgG to individual antigens in immunoblotting as well as detection of DNA and "early phase" viral ptoteins) was demonstrated. High rates of infection in population determine the necessity of revision of strategy for examination of children and adults, including screening of pregnant woman, on this infection.
