Overview

Worldwide, approximately 40,000 to 90,000 per 100,000 individuals are seropositive for Cytomegalovirus infection.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • Worldwide, approximately 40,000 to 90,000 per 100,000 individuals are seropositive for Cytomegalovirus infection. [1]
  • CMV seroprevalence in developing countries reaches more than 90% by adolescence and exceeds 95% by early adulthood

Gender

  • In the United States, 35%-90% of women entering their childbearing years are seropositive, and thus, they are not susceptible to primary CMV infection.

Age

  • Seroprevalence is age-dependent 58.9% of individuals aged 6 and over are infected with CMV.
  • 90.8% of individuals aged 80 and over are positive for CMV.
