Both rubella virus and Echovirus 9 (ECHO 9) were epidemic in Scotland during the summer of 1973; both viruses can cause a mild febrile illness with rash. Sera from 286 rubella-negative pregnant women were tested for neutralizing antibodies to ECHO 9 virus; 40 women had antibody titres suggestive of recent infection. Prospective studies on the outcome of these pregnancies are in progress but preliminary results suggest no connexion between fetal damage and ECHO 9 infection.
1973年夏天,风疹病毒和埃可病毒9型(ECHO 9)在苏格兰都有流行;这两种病毒都可引起伴有皮疹的轻度发热疾病。对286名风疹抗体阴性的孕妇血清进行了检测,以检测其对ECHO 9病毒的中和抗体;40名妇女的抗体滴度提示近期感染。目前正在对这些妊娠的结局进行前瞻性研究,但初步结果表明胎儿损伤与ECHO 9感染之间没有关联。
