Key Points

  • This research aims to detect IgM and IgG antibodies for measles in women who experienced abortions compared to those with normal pregnancies.
  • Collected 352 blood samples from women (176 with abortions, 176 with normal pregnancies)
  • Used rapid IgM tests and ELISA to detect the presence of antibodies
  • Conducted statistical analysis to compare antibody levels between groups
  • No significant difference in recent measles infections (IgM) between abortion and control groups (p=0.248)
  • No significant difference in past infections (IgG) between abortion and control groups (p=0.135)
  • Overall, no significant difference in IgM and IgG levels between both groups (p>0.05)

Abstract

Aim: To detect anti-measles viruses IgG and IgM antibodies using rapid test Cassette and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Materials and Methods: From October 2024 to December 2024, 352 blood samples obtained from female individuals, including 176 women who had abortions and 176 women with normal pregnancies. IgG and IgM samples were detected using the Cassette and ELISA methods. Results: Recent measles virus infections, as indicated by rapid IgM test results, showed no significant difference between the abortion group and the control group p=0.248. Additionally, past infections, confirmed by rapid IgG tests, were not significantly different between the patient group and the control group p=0.135. Overall, there was no significant difference in measles virus IgM and IgG levels between the abortion and control groups p>0.05. Conclusions: The level of education showed significant impact on abortion. Age, residency, and occupation do not affect the risk of abortion, while a low level of education is a significant risk factor for abortion. MV, there was no significant difference in the levels of IgM and IgG between the abortion group and the control group.
