Sero-survey of rubella IgM antibodies was carried out among children aged 0-10 years in Jos, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from the subjects and sera extracted. Of the 93(100%) assayed for the rubella IgM antibody, 42(45.2%) were seropositive for rubella IgM antibody while 51(54.8%) were seronegative. A breakdown of the seropositive subjects reveals that 14(15.1%) of the infected children were males while 28(30.1%) were females. Those subjects within the age groups of 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 years had the highest prevalence of 8(8.6%) followed by those within the age groups of 7-8, 9-10 years with 7(7.5%). Blood transfusion as a risk factor did not show any significant influence on the status of the subjects. The demographic data of the mothers of the subjects were also linked with the seropositivity of the children.
在尼日利亚乔斯,对 0-10 岁儿童进行了风疹 IgM 抗体血清调查。从研究对象中采集血液样本并提取血清。在检测的 93 份(100%)风疹 IgM 抗体中,42 份(45.2%)对风疹 IgM 抗体呈血清阳性,51 份(54.8%)呈血清阴性。对血清阳性者进行细分发现,14 名(15.1%)受感染儿童为男性,28 名(30.1%)为女性。1-2 岁、3-4 岁和 5-6 岁年龄组的感染率最高,为 8 例(8.6%),其次是 7-8 岁和 9-10 岁年龄组,为 7 例(7.5%)。输血作为一个危险因素,对研究对象的状态没有显示出任何显著影响。还将研究对象母亲的人口统计数据与儿童的血清阳性率联系起来。
