✦ Synopsis

We compared a group of 40 susceptible pregnant women who acquired CMV during gestation with a group of 86 women of similar race and socioeconomic background who remained seronegative to define factors associated with the risk of CMV infection during pregnancy. A logistic regression model using a stepwise procedure showed that a positive statistically significant correlation occurred with the age of the mother, the father's high-intensity contact with young children, and children living at home. A negative correlation occurred with mother's high-risk intensity contact with children outside the home. This study underlines the possibility that pregnant women may acquire CMV infection introduced into the household by their young children and husbands, a phenomenon that is reminiscent of rubella infection.

Since much of the pathogenesis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is still unknown and vascular involvement may be of importance, a rat model was used to study the nature and course of CMV-induced vascular pathology. In this model, local CMV infection was established by subcutaneous inoculation of rat
