[Results of monitoring pregnant patients exposed to rubella]
Report about the results of serologic diagnostics of rubella. In the years 1975 til 1984 we took care for 17,731 pregnant women. 455 of them had rubella contact. In 16.7 per cent (76 women) there was a titer of 1:16 or below. In 18 cases of them we had to guess the patients on artificial abortion, because there were hints at a rubella disease. Nevertheless out of 379 pregnant women with serologic immunity decided on abortion. Reasons have been discussed. We propose a serologic diagnostics in each case of rubella contact of a pregnant women for prevention of rubella embryopathy.
