“…The rates of abortion and premature delivery are also significantly higher in women infected with measles than in uninfected women. [1][2][3][4] Most measles infections induce strong labour pains within 14 days of the first symptoms of the infection. Congenital and acquired measles have been reported for neonates from non-immune mothers.…”

“…In addition, the risk of abortion and premature delivery is higher in pregnant women with a measles infection than in uninfected pregnant women. [1][2][3][4] In the near future in Japan there may be medical and social problems as a result of measles infection among pregnant women, because many women who were not vaccinated in childhood are now reaching child-bearing age. In response to the adult outbreaks, the Japanese government established a measles elimination plan in 2007.…”

We investigated the prevalence of measles-sensitive pregnant women and the clinical usefulness of measles vaccination in postpartum women. Measles antibody levels were measured in 751 pregnant women. Forty-four women were vaccinated postpartum, and screened for antibody levels and adverse effects 1 month after vaccination. The prevalence of measles-sensitive pregnant women was 10-20%, with the highest prevalence in those under 24 years of age. Almost all (97.7%) vaccinated women acquired immunity, and did not show any adverse effects. Serum measles antibody levels should be determined in all pregnant women as a screening tool, and sensitive women should be vaccinated immediately after delivery.

“…3 It is associated with adverse obstetric outcomes including fetal loss, prematurity, and fetal/neonatal infection. 3,6 In utero transmission of the measles virus to the fetus can cause congenital measles that exhibits highly variable clinical out comes such as asymptomatic cases, maculopapular rash, pneumonia, and subacute sclerosis pan encephalitis with fulminant course, 7 which may be likely related to the lack of maternal immunity against measles, as noted in our case.…”

� Case Report � outcomes as well as severe complications in the mother and fetus. 3 We report a case of perinatal measles infection during a measles endemic outbreak in the northern Gyeonggi province between July and October 2013, 5 which is documented for the first time in Korea to our best knowledge. We also reviewed the literature re garding measles during pregnancy. Case reportA previously healthy 37yearold Korean woman (gravida 3 and para 2) at 36 weeks of gestation was referred to us because of a persistent fever that had lasted for 5 days. Physical examination revealed a Measles during pregnancy has been associated with deleterious effects on the perinatal outcomes. We encountered a case of perinatal measles infection during the 2013 measles outbreak in South Korea. The mother experienced severe gestational measles associated with the lack of vaccination. She had a preterm delivery and the neonate developed congenital measles, which was diagnosed based on the results of serological tests for the mother and neonate. Herein, we described the case, first reported with confirmed transplacental transmission in Korea to our best knowledge, and also reviewed relevant literature regarding measles during pregnancy, which suggested that perinatal measles and the outcomes are markedly influenced by the status of maternal immunity during prenatal period.

“…Erkenntnisse aus wenigen kontrollierten Studien im Rahmen von Masernausbrüchen deuten darauf hin, dass schwangere Frauen ein erhöhtes Risiko haben, Komplikationen zu erleiden. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen einer mütterlichen Infektion und kongenitalen Missbildungen wurde nicht nachgewiesen [7,14,15,16,17,18,19,20] …”
