Abstract

Recently, we observed in our laboratory a CMV seroconversion with the appearance of CMV-specific IgG together with an IgM response in a previously seronegative pregnant woman during her first trimester (week 14) of pregnancy (kit used: Liaison® CMV IgGII and IgMII kits, Diasorin®, Italy). Surprisingly, the latest sample displayed high avidity using the Liaison® IgG Avidity II kit (Diasorin®, Italy). Similar results were observed with those samples using the Vidas® CMV IgG, IgM and Avidity kits (biomérieux®, France) (Table 1).
