  • Title: [Seroprevalence of rubella in pregnant women at Antananarivo. Study of 853 sera at the Pasteur Institute in Madagascar].
    Author: Dromigny JA, Pécarrère JL, Ollivier G, Leroy F, Zeller HG.
    Journal: Arch Inst Pasteur Madagascar; 1996; 63(1-2):53-5. PubMed ID: 12463018.
    Abstract:
    The authors reported the results of a seroepidemiological study of rubella in pregnancy in Antananarivo at the Institut Pasteur de Madagascar. A total of 853 sera were tested using hemagglutination inhibition as reference method. Rubella antibodies were present in 80.5% of the malagasy pregnant women. These results seem quite similar to those observed from other tropical african countries. The rubella prevalences among the pregnant woman's population coming from France, India and Pakistan and living in Antananarivo (respectively, 89.8% and 81.8%) seem the same than in their home countries.
