Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infects approximately 40-90% of the world population.[1]
- CMV seroprevalence in developing countries reaches more than 90% by adolescence and exceeds 95% by early adulthood.
- In the United States, 35%-90% of women entering their childbearing years are seropositive, and thus, they are not susceptible to primary CMV infection.
