Abstract
QUESTION: One of my patients contracted a primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. What is the recommended waiting time between primary CMV infection and conception, and which tests are valid for determining whether infectivity is over? ANSWER: Although no data on the proper waiting period between primary CMV infection and conception are available, we suggest waiting until CMV-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies are present (at least 6 months).
