Abstract:
:Serum specimens were obtained by fetoscopy at 19-25 weeks' gestation from four fetuses whose mothers had had confirmed rubella earlier in pregnancy. They were tested for rubella-specific IgM by antibody capture radioimmunoassay. No specific IgM was detected in one fetus and a healthy infant was delivered at term. Specific IgM was detected in the other three fetuses. In one case the level was low (1 unit) and this pregnancy went to term resulting in a neonate with clinical and laboratory evidence of congenital rubella infection. The remaining two fetuses had 2.8 and 2.4 units of specific IgM and the pregnancies were terminated. Blood obtained from these two fetuses after abortion showed levels of 5.4 and 2.9 units respectively. No specific IgM was detected in sera from eleven other fetuses aborted because of maternal rubella but five of these cases were terminated before 19 weeks and in five the interval between rash and abortion was three weeks or less. The results show that the human fetus can produce detectable specific IgM antibody by 19-20 weeks' gestation after exposure to rubella several weeks earlier. However, a larger study is required to define the reliability of fetoscopic blood sampling for the diagnosis of intrauterine infection.
