Effect of latent cytomegalovirus infection on the antibody response to influenza vaccination: a systematic review and meta-analysis

In conclusion, by systematically integrating the available studies, we show that there is no unequivocal evidence that latent CMV infection affects the influenza antibody response to vaccination. Further studies, including the level of CMV antibodies, are required to settle on the potential influence of latent CMV infection on the influenza vaccine response.
