Knowledge of the rubella antibody profiles of female populations of various ages and in various geographical areas is essential for an intelligent and effective administration of rubella vaccine. The investigation reported was undertaken to extend a previous WHO collaborative study to include additional areas of the Americas. As in the other mainland areas included in the earlier study, the presence of rubella haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody was found to be a likely event in over 80% of the females of child-bearing age in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, urban Peru (Lima) and Uruguay. Antibody rates were significantly lower in Jamaica, Panama, rural Peru and Trinidad. These data confirm and extend earlier findings of low levels of rubella immunity in certain island or isolated populations.
了解不同年龄和不同地理区域女性群体的风疹抗体谱,对于明智且有效地接种风疹疫苗至关重要。所报告的这项调查旨在扩展世界卫生组织先前的一项合作研究,将美洲的更多地区纳入其中。与早期研究中纳入的其他大陆地区一样,在阿根廷、巴西、智利、秘鲁城市地区(利马)和乌拉圭,超过80%的育龄女性体内可能存在风疹血凝抑制抗体。在牙买加、巴拿马、秘鲁农村地区和特立尼达,抗体率显著较低。这些数据证实并扩展了早期关于某些岛屿或孤立人群风疹免疫力水平较低的研究结果。
