We found positive IgM antibody against rubella virus in the blood of 23 out 1,054 (2.2%) children (age ranged between 12 months and 14 years). Fifteen 23 infected children were found to have bilateral sensorineural hearing loss children of the at-risk group and 11 of 19 from the not-at-risk group). Hearing impairment was bilateral in all cases, profound in 1, moderate to severe in and mild in 5. The serological results of the examined children are discuss and compared with other reported results. The prevalence rate of rubella infection is low. This is attributed to the universal childhood vaccination programme compulsory for all Saudi children.
我们在1054名儿童（年龄在12个月至14岁之间）的血液中发现23名（2.2%）儿童风疹病毒IgM抗体呈阳性。在23名感染儿童中，15名来自高危组，11名来自非高危组。所有病例的听力障碍均为双侧性，1例为重度，[此处原文缺失中度至重度的具体数据]，5例为轻度。对受检儿童的血清学结果进行了讨论，并与其他报告结果进行了比较。风疹感染的患病率较低。这归因于沙特所有儿童都必须接种的儿童普遍疫苗接种计划。
