JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSera of 1740 pregnant women, aged 18 to 38, were collected at Kawasaki city from October 1970 to October 1971, and HI antibodies to rubella, were examined for seroepidemiological study:
For comparison, the sera were divided in groups, by age of donor, by district where the donors wereliving, and by season when the samples were collected, and the data obtained were statistically analysedin age distribution, regional differences, and seasonal fluctuation.
The negative rates were almost equal between northern and southern districts, and among fourseasons. They varied among age groups, that is, the younger the age, the higher rates were obtained.
The distribution of antibody titers of all positive sera showed normal curve with a peak of 26-intiter, and the mean titer was approximately 6 (log 2). In comparison of seasonal fluctuation, the averagetiter of autumnal group was the lowest among four groups, and it increased in winter and spring. Thetendency was distinct in northern districts. The incidences of abnormally high titer donor were alsohigher in winter and spring. It was suggested that a sizable endemic of rubella might have occurredduring the time between the end of winter in 1970 and spring in 1971 in Kawasaki city.View full abstractDownload PDF (927K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIriomote Island is located in southern end of the Ryukyu Islands and the population was 2500. Arubella epidemic occurred in 1965 and several babies with rubella syndrome were born there. We testedserum specimens obtained from 261 healthy individuals there in 1970 for rubella HI antibody.
Rubella HI antibody was detected in 82%, 98%, 65%, 82%, and 90% in the age group 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, and more than 40, respectively.
The characteristics of the seroepidemiological condition there were that 10% of the individualsmore than 40 years of age were thought still intact to rubella and another 10% of this age group hadhigh titers (≥1: 1024) of rubella HI antibody, and these were thought to be the cases of recent primaryor reinfection.View full abstractDownload PDF (262K) -
