Prevalence of Cytomegalovirus Infection Among Fertile Women From Yukpa Amerindians Commu nities, State of Zulia, Venezuela
Infection by Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is considered a health problem in fertile women when the infection is acquired during pregnancy. In order to find the prevalence of CMV among fertile women in Yukpa communities,112 women out of 151, ages 16 – 45, were selected during 2007, coming from Tokuko (n=41)...
