Abstract

Antibodies detection of Rubella virus was performed with sera from 75 pregnant women in Korea to understand its epidemiological pattern. Serologic methods used for this purpose were Hemagglutination Inhibition test(HI test) and Single Radial Hemolysis test(SRH test), simultaneously for each serum. A very high rate of positivity was disclosed as 76% by HI test and 78% by SRH test respectively in this population group. Comparative value of HI test and SRH test which were known to have advantages and disadvantages against each other was discussed therewith.
