Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Rubella is a contagious viral infection characterized by mild fever and rashes. Maternal infection early in pregnancy often leads to birth defects known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Objective: To determine susceptibility to rubella among preparatory year’s students in Aden University and relate it to vaccination status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 146 preparatory year students in Aden University. Level of rubella IgG was evaluated by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique using a commercially available kits on 146 serum samples. Results: The seropositivity rate of anti-rubella IgG was 130 (89 %) with 69 (53.1%), 61 (46.9%), for male and female, respectively. However, the susceptibility rate among respondents was 32 (11.0 %); 5 (31.25 %) were male and 11 (68.75 %) were female. Conclusion: This study reveals that alarmingly considerable percentage of susceptibility among students. Hence, there is a great need for a proper health education programmes and community mobilisation to encourage of population toward vaccination.
