Cytomegalovirus infection was sought as a routine over a period of two year in 100 patients of which 34 had a suitable constitutional background for this type infection (multiple transfusions, malignant disease, immunodepression). The authors attempt to circumscibe the main clinical aspects encountered in adults. They consider the repective diagnostic values of isolation of the virus and serological reactions. They discuss their interpretation during the course of an infection.
