Abstract

The epithelium of endocervical glands in a biopsy specimen of a clinical erosion of the cervix, obtained because of suspicious cytologic findings, was shown to contain intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions characteristic of cytomegalovirus. It is suggested that such cervical infection may or may not induce symptomatic disease, but when present during pregnancy, it could give rise to endometritis leading to either abortion or fetal infection.
