AI-generated summary
Using PCR to detect cytomegalovirus-specific immediate-early gene sequences, researchers found that cervical and urinary excretion rates in pregnant Taiwanese women increased significantly as pregnancy progressed compared to nonpregnant controls.

Abstract
Cervical and urinary excretion of cytomegalovirus by Taiwanese women was identified by the presence of a cytomegalovirus-specific immediate-early gene sequence amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. Excretion rates during the first trimester of pregnancy resembled rates for nonpregnant women. As pregnancy proceeded, the cervical excretion rate increased from 13 to 40% and the urinary excretion rate increased from 1 to 13%.
