Abstract
The epidemic of cytomegalovirus (CMV) occurred among forty-nine infants residing in an infant home between October and November of 1968. The incidence of infants having complement-fixing antibody to CMV increased from 23.7% to 91.8% during this period. CMV was isolated from saliva of 81% of the infants. The isolation rate decreased to 26% 4 months later. All of the virus excreters were apparently healthy.
