| Abstract: | The epidemiology of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection as assessed by CMV antibody testing varies significantly in different parts of the world and also in different regions of a country. A study was therefore carried out to assess the prevalence of CMV antibody in our blood donors, looking in particular at different subgroups of donors as divided by age, sex and social class, to see how we could maximise the yield of CMV-negative blood from our testing. It was shown that patterns of CMV infection in the North East of Scotland followed well-established norms. Data from other Regional Transfusion Centres within the UK were also collected for comparison. |
