Association of IgG and IgM Levels of CMV Infection with Abortion among Women who Smoke
Abstract
Introduction: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has become common worldwide. The current study was suggested to evaluate the impact of smoking on abortion in Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infected women.
Method: The study was conducted on 66 women IgG and IgM were used to detect CMV infection in women who had undergone abortion.
Results: The current results showed significant differences in the number of births and marriage duration (p=0.009, p=0.010) and non-significant difference in age (p=0.750) in both groups. There was a high percentage of smokers (21.21%) in women with abortion as compared to the healthy group. There were significant elevations of IgG (2.32 ± 0.53) and IgM (0.51 ± 0.312) levels in women who had undergone abortion (p = 0.000) as compared to healthy women. A significant inverse association between IgG level and number of abortions (p=0.019), and a non-significant weak correlation between IgM and number of abortions (p=0.969) was noted. The impact of smoking on the number of abortions and birth showed non-significant differences (p=0.871, p=0.955) respectively between smoker and non-smoker groups. Healthy women didn’t have any abortion and showed non-significant differences in the number of births (p=0.430) in comparison with abortion group. The effect of smoking on the levels of IgG and IgM of study groups shows non-significant changes.
Conclusion: The current study concluded that smoking does not contribute to abortion in any direct effect, but it may lead to CMV infection by weakening the immune response.
