چکیده
Materials and methods: Between April 2008 and April 2009, 1268 women were investigated for rubella, 1102 for toxoplasma, and 1000 women for CMV seroprevalences in the first trimester of pregnancy. Toxoplasma and rubella IgM and IgG antibodies were assayed by the automated Vitros ECiQ system based on an immunometric technique. Cytomegalovirus IgM and G antibodies were tested using the Chorus enzyme immune assay. We also reviewed the relevant literature reporting seroprevalences from different regions of Turkey.
