title: [Detection of seropositivity against rubella virus in women in the reproductive age and comparison of the rubella hemagglutination inhibition test and the ELISA-IgG test].
abstract: In this study Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) and ELISA-IgG tests used for Rubella serology were compared in terms of specificity and sensitivity In addition, 100 sera samples taken from women in pregnancy age were tested for Rubella antibodies. The results indicated that the sensitivity of Rubella ELISA IgG test is 100% and the specificity is 97.4%. The seropositivity of women in pregnancy age was found to be 93% by Rubella ELISA-IgG test.
