In this study IgM and IgG anti-CMV were detected in serum from volunteer blood donors from
Santa Maria Hospital Cutervo, Cajamarca. The study was performed with serum samples from
the total population of suitable donors, which were processed by ELISAfor the determination of
specific IgM and IgG anti-cytomegalovirus (anti-CMG). 70 samples were analyzed. Of the 54%
(38) female donors, none were reactive to anti-CMV IgM and 95% (36) were reactive to anti-
CMVIgG. Of the 46% (32) male donors, none were reactive to anti-CMV IgM and all were IgG
reactive to CMV. It was determined that none of them have recent infection caused by
cytomegalovirus (as shown by anti-CMV IgM) but a high percentage (97%) was reactive against
anti-CMVIgG.En el presente estudio se detectó IgM e IgG anti-citomegalovirus en suero de donantes
voluntarios de sangre del Hospital Santa María de Cutervo, Cajamarca, del periodo 2013. El
estudio se realizó con muestras de suero de la población total de donantes aptos, las cuales fueron
procesadas por la técnica de ELISA para la determinación de IgM e IgG específicas anticitomegalovirus
(anti-CMG). Se analizaron 70 muestras. El 54% (38) fueron donantes
femeninos, ninguno reactivo a IgM anti-CMVy 95% (36) reactivo a IgG anti-CMV. El 46% (32)
fueron donantes masculinos, ninguno reactivo a IgM anti-CMV y todos reactivos a IgG anti-
CMV. Se determinó que ninguno de ellos tiene infección reciente causada por citomegalovirus
(como lo muestra IgM anti-CMV) pero un alto porcentaje (97%) resultó reactivo para IgG anti-
CMV
