Antibody to cytomegalovirus (CMV) was sought in sera from Malta using immunofluorescence. Seven per cent of the infants, 36% of the school children, increasing to 100% of the adults aged over 40 years were found to have antibody. Most infection occurred in pre-school children and adults over 25 years of age. This pattern of antibody acquisition appears different from that described for other countries.
