Abnormal responses to rubella infection.
Two cases of rubella are described which caused initial problems in laboratory diagnosis due to abnormal features in the immune response. One patient presented with thrombocytopenic purpura and associated circulating immune complexes. The other patient, who was in early pregnancy, had an unusually prolonged rash and a delayed humoral immune response. The possible reasons for the difficulties in...
متن کاملRubella infection in pregnancy.
It is over 50 years since a syndrome of congenital abnormalities following maternal rubella infection was first recognised. Despite the potentially devastating effects of the congenital rubella syndrome, immunisation rates are not optimal and infections in pregnancy still occur. Four cases of rubella infection occurring in pregnancy are presented. Laboratory diagnosis of primary infection and r...
متن کاملCellular responses to Rubella virus infection of neural progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells
Rubella virus (RUBV) is a significant human pathogen. RUBV infection takes an enormous toll due to congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), a constellation of birth defects including blindness, hearing defects and mental retardation. Little is known about RUBV-induced teratogenesis due to the absence of useful models. This research is now enabled by the availability of human embryonic stem cells (hES...
متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin G and A antibodies to rubella virus in urine and antibody responses to vaccine-induced infection.
Urine and serum samples from 89 healthy volunteers and three healthy individuals who underwent rubella vaccination were tested for immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM to rubella virus (RV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. Subjects with positive (n = 68) or negative (n = 21) results for serum IgG were exactly the same as those with the corresponding results for urinary IgG. Both ur...
متن کاملPrimary rubella infection: Prevalence and relationship to pregnancy wastage
Objectives : To evaluate the prevalence of primary rubella infection in women with pregnancy wastage. Methods : The study included 150 pregnant women with obstetrical losses (Group 1) and 150 pregnant women without any obstetrical losses (group II). Serological evaluation for IgM antibodies was carried out by IgM ELISA method. Results : Seropositivity for rubella was 8.67% in group I and 2% in ...
