  • Title: Rubella susceptibility among prenatal and family planning clinic populations.
    Author: Dorfman SF, Bowers CH.
    Journal: Mt Sinai J Med; 1985 Apr; 52(4):248-52. PubMed ID: 3873601.
    Abstract:
    Rubella infections during pregnancy can have devastating results. To assess rubella susceptibility among women who are pregnant or at risk of becoming pregnant, 764 women attending The Mount Sinai Medical Center Family Planning and Prenatal Clinics from December 1982-April 1983 were studied. An overall seronegativity rate of 14% was found. Women who had not been effectively immunized against rubella or had not acquired natural immunity were a significant proportion of this clinic population. These data prompted the expansion of rebella screening and immunization to Family Planning Clinic and In Vitro Fertilization Program patients and hospital personnel dealing with these women.
