“…WHO estimates show that this ratio is 45% in Turkey (14). Rubella IgG and IgM it has been demonstrated rates were 94.87% and 0.783%, respectively for pregnant woman in the meta-analysis study in Turkey (15). A recent study in Turkey shows that seropositivity for anti-rubella IgG and IgM were 89 and 0.19%, respectively (16).…”

Infections during pregnancy are one of the causes of morbidity and mortality for mother and fetus. TORCH are the microorganisms that cause congenital infections. Prevention and treatment of TORCH infection is very important for maternal and child health. In this study, we aimed to determine the seroprevalence of these infections among pregnant women. Material and Methods: Laboratory data of 1371 pregnant women were evaluated retrospectively. Toxoplasma, Rubella and Cytomegalovirus IgM and IgG antibodies were tested by the carbonylmetalloimmunoassay method. Results: The ages of pregnant women whose laboratory data were examined, varied between 17 and 47, and the mean age was 30.1 ± 5.2. Positive Toxoplasma IgG antibody was found 36.3%, while 1.0% were positive for the Toxoplasma IgM antibody. Rubella IgG seropositivity was found 94.3%, and Rubella IgM was found 0.7%. CMV IgG and IgM positivities were detected in 94.1% and 0.9% respectively. Conclusion: Detection of antenatal risk groups is an important step in the prevention of congenital syndromes. Therefore, it is very important to know the seropositivity rates of that region. The common population screening may contribute to the prevention of congenital infections due to TORCH agents. Toxoplasma gondii screening can be recommended because the prevalence is not high. CMV screening is not significant due to high seroprevalence. High anti-rubella IgG seropositivity shows that pregnant women in this region have high immunity levels.

“…! from different areas of Turkey showed that the rate of susceptibility to rubella in native pregnant women ranged from 2.5% to 17%, and IgG seropositivity ranged from 83.69 to 97.5% [16][17][18]. There is a limited number of studies conducted on Syrian refugees in Turkey for the susceptibility of rubella, and according to one of these studies, which had results that were similar to this study, 1333 Syrian pregnant woman were evaluated, and the IgG seropositivity was found to be 92.8% [19].…”

Objectives:The study has aimed to investigate the rubella immunity in native-Turkish and Syrian-immigrant pregnant women in Turkey. Methods: Between September 2010 and December 2018, the hospital records of pregnant patients were evaluated retrospectively. For each year, for the number of patients who were screened for rubella IgG and/or IgM antibodies, IgG avidity (if any), and PCR tests (if any) were investigated, and subjects were categorized by nationality. Results: During the study period, a total of 80,302 pregnant were tested with at least one of the rubella IgM or IgG antibodies. Of these, 22,962 pregnant women were screened for both IgG and IgM, 24,684 were screened for IgG, and 78,580 pregnant women were screened for IgM rubella antibodies. The seropositivity rate of IgG rubella antibodies in native and Syrian pregnant groups was 93.8% and 95.9%, respectively. In both groups, the IgM rubella antibodies were found as 0.5%. IgG avidity was investigated in 252 patients, whose test results were positive for IgM and IgG; and a low IgG avidity was detected in 5 native patients, while none was detected in the Syrian group. Conclusions: In the Syrian immigrant group, the susceptibility to Rubella is low, and it does not differ from the native Turkish population.

Objective: Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are important infectious agents that can be transmitted vertically from mother to baby, and can cause clinical signs in the fetus and the newborn. In our study, it was aimed to determine the distribution of antibodies against T. gondii, Rubella and CMV in pregnant women applied to our hospital. Method: In our study, the serological test results of the blood samples of pregnant women used in the diagnosis of T. gondii, Rubella and CMV infections in Microbiology Laboratory of Sivas Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Medicine, were retrospectively analyzed in a two-year period between 2018 and 2019. Results: The positivity rates were determined to be 26.7% for T. gondii IgG, 87.9% for Rubella virus IgG and 99% for CMV IgG. While IgM test positivities for the same pathogens were 1.3%, 0.3%, and 0.7%, respectively. Low avidity results were encountered in 4 patients (22.2%) for T. gondii, whereas the results of all examined tests for Rubella and CMV were found to have high avidity. Conclusion: Regional epidemiological data are important to determine routine screening approach or infectious agents that will be more important for the newborn. We think that we will contribute to the literature with our study based on regional data.
