[A serological survey on antibodies to polio, measles, diphtheria and tetanus in Yichang human population].
A serological survey on antibodies to polio, measles, diphtheria and tetanus in 1444 normal people in Yichang City is reported. The positive rates and geometric mean titres (GMT) of neutralizing antibodies to polio types 1-3 were 95.00%, 93.61%, 94.17% and 103.57, 94.61, 83.80, respectively. Antibody to diphtheria had higher level (GMT = 0.0829 IU/ml). Antibodies to tetanus in child-bearing women had the lowest level (GMT = 0.0014 IU/ml). There was a significant positive correlation between the antibody to measles in mothers and that in their newborn babies (r = 0.7153, P < 0.0005).
