The Cytomegaloviruses: Ubiquitous Agents with Protean Clinical Manifestations: (Second of Two Parts)

Abstract

Epidemiologic AspectsDistribution of CMVSurveys of unselected newborn infants in four cities in the United States and England indicate that some 1 per cent enter the world with an active infection as indicated by presence of viruria.36,128 129 130 Risk of acquired infection begins during birth. Thereafter, as imperfectly assayed by serologic technics, the cumulative risk during life is reflected in peak CF reactivity rates of the order of 80 per cent in adults in such disparate regions as Stockholm and Easter Island.131,132 The general picture that emerges is one of worldwide endemicity, but with marked variation in levels in differing . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
