title: [Epidemiologic control for rubella in pregnant women].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluate effectiveness of measures specified by epidemiologic control for rubella in pregnant women.
  
  
  METHODS
  585 pregnant women with suspected measles were laboratory examined in 10 Regional Centers of Control for Measles and Rubella by EIA.
  
  
  RESULTS
  24 rubella infected pregnant women aged 16-36 years were detected among the examined pregnant women, most of those (91.7%) were either not immunized against rubella or had unknown immunization anamnesis: 16 women terminated pregnancy, in 8 women pregnancy ended with delivery at term. Of the 8 newborns only a single child had innate rubella infection (the child was clinically healthy).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Epidemiologic investigation of each rubella case in pregnant women with obligatory laboratory examination of women and source of infection revealed a significant number of women at childbearing age susceptible to rubella virus that retains the possibility of birth of children with innate rubella syndrome.
