Prevalence and molecular epidemiology of CMV and EBV among nurses working in pediatrics, transplantology, and primary health care

The aim of the study was to determine and compare the prevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) antibodies and DNA among nurses working in different profiles of healthcare activity.
