German measles (rubella) is a viral disease characterized by rash, fever and lymphadenopathy in children and adults. This disease is passed with mild symptoms in childhood, if the virus passes to the fetus during pregnancy, it leads to congenital rubella syndrome and can lead to many anomalies. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of rubella IgG antibodies in women of marriage-age. In this study, Rubella IgG antibodies were investigated in the serum of marriage-age women who had attended to step one health care provider for premarital tests, prospectively. Tests were performed by Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (Cobas, Roche, Almanya) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. 963 women who were between18-25 years old in marriage age were included in this study. Rubella IgG antibodies were positive in 929 (96.5%) and were negative in 34(3.5%) of them.The seroprevalence of rubella have been found to be high in Konya. Immunity continues during lifetime in individuals who suffered from infection but women in marriage age who had not been infected and unvaccinated are at risk. Vaccination of women attended for premarital tests may reduce morbidity and mortality associated with congenital rubella syndrome.
