Abstract:
A total of 67 semen donors (62 Caucasian and five non-Caucasian) were tested for the presence of immunoglobulin G antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV). Ten (16%) of the Caucasian donors tested positive for CMV, while four (80%) of the non-Caucasian donors were positive. A total of 131 women receiving donor insemination (114 Caucasian and 17 non-Caucasian) were tested. Of these, 43 (38%) of the Caucasian recipients tested positive for CMV, while 16 (94%) of the non-Caucasian recipients were positive. There was a significant association between the incidence of positive tests and the age of the Caucasian recipients.
