title: [Sero-epidemiological survey of virus infections in pregnant women of the Changchun district].
abstract: ELISA method was used to detect Rubella virus specific IgG in serum for 315 pregnant women. Susceptible cases with negative IgG was found in 8.9% (28/315) and recently infected cases was found in 6.0% (19/315). Serum CMV-IgG was assayed for 476 pregnant women. Forty-two cases (8.8%) were found to be negative. The cord serum CMV-IgM positive rate was 2.3% (6/259). Serum Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) IgG was assayed in 384 pregnant women. The negative rate for Type II virus was 26.8% (103/384) and that for Type II virus was 18.0% (53/295). In the cord serum the HSV-Type II and Type IgM was positive each in one case among 212 newborn babies. The results of this preliminary survey indicate that the sero-immunologic estimation of specific globulin is helpful in early detection of intrauterine infection.
