IgM and IgG antibodies specific to rubella in child bearing women

M U Ahmed. J Pak Med Assoc. 1992 May.

Abstract

Three hundred fifty five pregnant women were tested for IgM and IgG type of antibodies by Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA). Sero-positivity for IgM and IgG antibodies were 13% and 29% respectively. Of 212 pregnant women with abortion, 39 (18%) and 80 (38%) were sero-positive and of 143 pregnant women with normal reproductive performance, 7 (5%) and 23 (16%) were positive for IgM and IgG respectively. Premarital screening and vaccination of Sero-negative girls is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality related to rubella virus.
