“…In Alberta, no cases of CRS or congenital rubella infection were reported between 2007 and 2012. Only one case of rubella in 2009 was reported in an individual with recent travel history to Bangladesh (where 13,464 cases were documented in 2009) [25]. No doses of rubella containing vaccine were documented for the individual.…”

“…In this study IgM/IgG seropositivity against Rubella was 86.21%, is similar to a study done by Nazme 14,10 . Nazme et al from Dhaka Shishu hospital reported 28% children were seropositive for rubella IgM among suspected congenital rubella syndrome cases 6 . In this study Toxoplasma specific IgM was 5.17% which correlates with the findings of Golalipour et al in Iran.…”

“…The virus can infect and replicate in the placenta of pregnant women. The devastating consequences of rubella infection during pregnancy are abortion, still birth andfetal malformation that arise from maternal infection during the first trimester of pregnancy 6 . Rubella is a mild viral illness in children but can occasionally infect adults.…”

“…WHO estimates that, worldwide, more than one lakh children are born with congenital rubella syndrome each year, most of them in developing countries 3 . Annual number of reported rubella cases in Bangladesh was 13,464 in 2009 and 13,125 in 2010 and rubella attack rate among antenatal population in Bangladesh is 14.5 in 1000 during pregnancy 6 . CMV is the most common cause of congenital infection and its incidence has been estimated to be between 0.2 -2.2% of all live births in different parts of the world.…”

Background : The acronym “TORCH” was introduced to highlight a group of pathogens that cause a congenital and perinatal infections: Toxoplasma gondi, rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). These pathogens are often associated with congenital anomalies. Congenital malformations have a direct impact on the family. This study was undertaken to detect the serological evidence of TORCH infections in children, by establishing the presence of specific IgM antibodies. Methods: During the period 1st June 2016 to 30th May 2017, 58 suspected TORCH infection cases were included from Paediatrics Department of CMOSH for TORCH antibody detection. The children were in the age of 0 day to 1 year with an average age of 3.3±2.59 months. The serum samples were tested forIgM and IgG antibodies against TORCH agents by using enzyme linked immunoassay method (ELISA). Results: Among the 58 children, seropositivity was found in 55 (94.82%) cases. Of the 55 seropositive cases serological evidence for combination of IgM and IgG with any one of the TORCH agents was detected in 25 (43.10%) and IgG alone was detected in 30 (51.72%) children. IgM/IgG antibody positivity to Toxoplasma, Rubella, CMV and HSV was 21(36.21%), 50(86.21%), 52(89.66%) and 8(13.79%) respectively. IgM anti-CMV were observed in highest number of cases 19(32.76%), followed by IgM anti-rubella 7(12.07%). IgM against HSV and Toxoplasma were found in equal number of cases, 3(5.17%) each. Conclusions: Awareness amongst clinicians and mothers about TORCH infections and their consequences should be developed. Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.17 (1); Jan 2018; Page 13-16

This study aims to determine the relationship of family support and other factors in participating in MR immunization in Posyandu in the work area of Momunu Health Center, Buol Regency, Central Sulawesi. This study uses a cross sectional design. The number of research respondents was 96 respondents. The results of this study indicate that (p value 0.005) for the variable family support for MR immunization, for the nurse support variable for MR immunization (p-value 0.007) and for the education variable for MR immunization (p-value 0.012). Conclusion, there is a significant relationship between family support for [giving immunization, there is a relationship between nurse support for giving immunization and there is an educational relationship with giving immunization. Keywords: Measles and Rubella, Family Support, Giving Immunization MR
