[The determination of the rubella titre during antenatal care-possibilities of the surveillance of a preventive program by a central serological laboratory (author's transl)].
The material sent to the state serological laboratory Braunschweig for the determination of the rubella titre during antenatal care was found to come from pregnant women who are older than the average age of primi-gravidas in lower saxony. A re-check of the maternity care booklets showed that some rubella titre determinations were done after the first pregnancy. The rubella titre was determined during the present pregnancy earlier in accordance with the early presentation of patients for antenatal care. This followed the unusual well known patterns. Proposals are made for the continued evaluation of the antenatal care program with simple methods.
