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.

Journal of Communicable Diseases (E-ISSN: 0019-5138 & P-ISSN: 2394-7047) is published by ADR Publications and is the official publication of Indian Society of Malaria and Other Communicable Diseases. Journal of Communicable Diseases covers scientific researches in the field of communicable diseases. Accept articles with scientific excellence in the form of (1) Original articles in basic and field research (2) Critical reviews, (3) surveys, (4) Case studies, (5) opinions/Correspondence/letters to editor, etc. The first issue of the publication entitled “Bulletin of the National Society of India for Malaria and Other Mosquito-Borne Diseases” the precursor of “Journal of Communicable Disease” (J Commun Dis) was brought out in 1953. The objects and purposes of J Commun Dis are: • to advance knowledge regarding the cause, prevalence, epidemiology, treatment, prevention and control of malaria and other-mosquito-borne diseases and other communicable diseases, • to stimulate scientific and practical interest among individuals and organizations in the prompt and effective application of treatment and control methods, • to integrate scientific and field activities and co-ordinate various scientific investigations, • to disseminate such knowledge both to scientists and to the general public.
