The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy rendered with a single dose of live attenuated measles, rubella, mumps, and varicella containing vaccine. We inoculated healthcare workers (HCWs) with a single dose of vaccine to a disease lacking in antibody titer for those not meeting the criteria of our hospital (measles: <16.0 (IgG enzyme immunoassay (EIA)), rubella: ≤1:32 (hemagglutinat...

BACKGROUND Antibodies to measles, mumps, and rubella decline 3% per year on average, and have a high degree of individual variation. Yet, individual variations and differences across antigens are not well understood. To better understand potential implications on individual and population susceptibility, we reanalyzed longitudinal data to identify patterns of seropositivity and persistence. M...

We successfully immunized the neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) patient with live-attenuated vaccines for measles, rubella, varicella, and mumps and achieved sufficient antibody titer under canakinumab therapy without complications.

in this report, a seroepidemiological survey was performed to determine the prevalence of rubella immunity and antibody titer in 11-16 year old girls in urban and rural areas of tonkabon district in northern iran. the results and conclusion are presented.

BACKGROUND Rubella is a mild viral infection affecting women of reproductive age, and the fetus in early pregnancy, leading to miscarriage, stillbirth and Congenital Rubella Syndrome. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to assess serum level of anti-rubella antibodies in women younger than 25 years attending medical centers in Ahvaz city. PATIENTS AND METHODS This descriptive cross-sectional...

BACKGROUND Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) can be prevented with appropriate vaccination programs. The prevalence rates of rubella and CRS in Iran are unknown; therefore, the risk of exposure in pregnant women is not clear. The prevalence of CRS in the pre-vaccine period can be estimated by evaluating the proportion of children in the population with sensorineural hearing loss attributable to...

Sera and CSFs of 85 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), 49 patients with probable MS, and 165 control patients with other neurologic diseases were assayed for antibodies to rubella, mumps, measles, parainfluenza I (strain 6/94), herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster, and vaccinia viruses. Methods included complement fixation (CF), hemagglutination inhibition (HI), and complement-...
