  • Title: Rubella susceptibility predicts measles susceptibility: implications for postpartum immunization.
    Author: Libman MD, Behr MA, Martel N, Ward BJ.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2000 Dec; 31(6):1501-3. PubMed ID: 11096023.
    Abstract:
    Measles and mumps antibody titers were measured in 262 pregnant women who were either positive (n=128) or negative (n=134) for rubella antibodies. Susceptibility to measles and mumps was detected in 4.6% (12/262) and 7.6% (14/184) of the women, respectively. Of the rubella-susceptible group, 8.2% were also measles susceptible, whereas only 0.8% of the rubella-immune women were measles susceptible. Susceptibility to mumps was evenly divided between rubella-susceptible (7.8%) and rubella-immune (7.4%) groups.
