ABSTRACT
Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

This study assessed the seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus, associated factors, and Epstein-Barr virus coinfection among adult residents of Manaus.

METHODS:

Using a cross-sectional study design, we collected blood samples from 136 individuals in a household survey in 2016. Prevalence ratios were calculated using Poisson regression.

RESULTS:

Cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus seroprevalences were 67.6% (95% CI 9.7-75.6%) and 97.8% (95% CI 95.3-100.0%), respectively. Coinfection was observed in 66.2% (95% CI 58.1-74.2%) of participants. Bivariate analysis showed no statistical association.

CONCLUSIONS:

Seroprevalences were high among participants and approximately 7 out of 10 individuals had cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus coinfection.
