Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection spreads easily by interpersonal contact. Objective: This study determined the prevalence of seropositivity of cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the Asir Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: The study evaluated the seropositivity for cytomegalovirus-specific IgG in 460 females. Collected samples were processed and tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and specific HCMV IgG. Results: The study showed that all the respondents aged 15–20 years were seropositive for the HCMV. HCMV seropositive status was recorded in 99.2% of the older patients (#x3e;40 years of age). In the remaining age groups, the rate of seropositivity ranged from 95.7 (age range 20–25 years) to 98.9% (age range 30 years). Conclusions: In all age groups of females tested, the prevalence of seropositive for HCMV was high, i.e., in the range of 95.7–100%.

背景：人巨细胞病毒（HCMV）感染很容易通过人际接触传播。目的：本研究确定了沙特阿拉伯王国阿斯地区的巨细胞病毒免疫球蛋白G（IgG）血清阳性的患病率。方法：该研究评估了460名女性中巨细胞病毒特异性IgG的血清阳性。使用酶联免疫吸附测定和特异性HCMV IgG对收集的样品进行处理和测试。结果：该研究表明，所有年龄在15至20岁之间的受访者均具有HCMV血清阳性。在99.2％的老年患者（＃x3e； 40岁）中记录了HCMV血清反应阳性。在其余年龄组中，血清阳性率从95.7（20-25岁）到98.9％（30岁）。结论：在所有接受检测的女性年龄组中，HCMV血清阳性的患病率很高，即在95.7–100％的范围内。
