[Anti-rubella antibodies in pregnant women in Niamey (Niger)].
A total of 345 serum samples from pregnant Nigerian women were tested for the presence of anti-rubella antibodies. A technique of inhibition of haemagglutination was used and 40 or more was considered as a positive titer. Rubella antibodies were found in 244 (70.7%) of the samples. These results are quite similar to those from other west African surveys.
