Abstract

One hundred and thirteen sera from pregnant women and thirty sera from non pregnant women which were obtainable at several hospitals, Seoul Korea, during the period from June to November, 1983 were studied with complement fixation test in order to understand epidemiologic pattern of cytomegalovirus antibodies and herpes simplex virus antibodies in pregnant women. The results showed cytomegalovirus antibodies were 98.87% and herpes simplex virus antibodies were 97.25% in pregnant women. The complement fixation antibody titers of cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus in pregnant women were abserved to have significant correlation.
