“…The low CMV IgM positivity reported in our study is matching the low rates reported in the studies conducted in Jordan [11], Syria [12], Iran [5], and India [10]. Chaudhari and Bindra [10] conducted a prospective study in which 431 voluntary blood donors were screened for CMV IgG and IgM and found that 379 (87.9 %) subjects were seropositive for CMV IgG while seven (1.6%) were CMV IgM positive.…”

“…Bagheri et al [5] found a significant correlation between the residence place and the CMV IgG seropositivity rate among Iranian pregnant women. The authors reported that 67.1% of the participants from the urban areas were CMV IgG seropositive which was significantly lower than that (82.8%) reported among those living in the rural areas.…”

Recently, Bagheri et al [5] collected 240 serum samples from Iranian pregnant women and measured the CMV IgG and IgM markers using ELIZA method and found that the CMV seropositivity rate was 72.1%.

Background:Iranian population is highly immune from T.Gondii and CMV infection. Objective:To determine the immunity to T.Gondii and CMV in children with the cochlear implant surgery accompanied with the profound Idiopathic type of SNHL Methods and Materials:We studied 45 cases with the cochlear implant surgery (Idiopathic profound SNHL) and 30 controls with the normal OAEs in a cross-sectional study in Rasoul Akram Hospital in Tehran (2010 -2012). Blood samples (2 ml) were centrifuged and were kept frozen at -20°C. Sera searched for the specific antibodies against CMV and T.Gondii. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; BioChem Immune System) was calculated qualitatively. (P value< 0.05) Results:Range of age in cases with profound SNHL (<95 dB) was 6 months-to-14 years; mean=3.4+3.16 y; Idiopathic type of SNHL children diagnosed in 45 cases were younger than cases with non-Idiopathic SNHL (mean age=20 months; PV=0.05). Positive T.Gondii -IgM was found in 8 /45 (17.7%) and also one of these cases (2.2%) had positive T.Gondii -IgG test. Positive CMV-IgM & IgG were determined in 23% and 51% of cases, respectively. Positive T.Gondii -IgG was observed in 60% (18/30) of controls but none of them had positive T.Gondii -IgM. Positive CMV-IgM & IgG in controls was 3.3% and 90%, respectively. Conclusion:CMV infection is one of the most common infections found in profound idiopathic SNHL children especially in younger cases (< 2 years) even in highly immune Iranian populations. Probably, T.Gondii infection has a relative role in younger cases with profound SNHL but a higher role in mild to moderate SNHL in our pediatric population. Most of the T.Gondii infected SNHL cases never require cochlear implant surgery.In future, a cohort study for prenatal diagnosis of the intrauterine infection and the role of infection in producing SNHLwould be very helpful. It has been recommended to search the specific antibodies against these two common infections in all types of SNHL in pediatric groups which are treatable especially in younger cases (<2 year).

The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a major cause of congenital infections. A case-control descriptive study was conducted in Kirkuk, Iraq to determine the seroprevalence of CMV in women with bad obstetric history (BOH) compared to women with a normal previous pregnancy. The CMV IgG and IgM seroprevalence was higher in women with BOH. The CMV IgG seroprevalence was significantly influenced by pregnancy, age, residence and level of education. In addition, the current CMV infection was significantly associated with pregnancy, age, residence and education. Large families (crowding index >3) exhibited higher seroprevalence for CMV IgM (8.3%) and IgG (98.3%), but odd ratio (OR) showed no significant association between family size and seropositivity. The CMV IgG seropositivity was higher in working women (100%) compared to housewives (95.4%). However, the CMV IgM (current infection) was 6.8% in housewives and was not detected in any working women (0%). The OR exhibited no significant association between occupation and both IgM and IgG levels.
