However, the high possibility of brutal effects of both microorganisms during pregnancy has kept them emerging as a major public health issue. The current study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of rubella and measles among 15\u201325\u2010year\u2010old females in southwest Iran.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>This descriptive study was performed in Jahrom, southern west Iran during 2012. Serum samples from female individuals with an age of 15\u201325\u2009years visiting main laboratories in our study location were collected and evaluated by a commercial ELISA kit for anti\u2010rubella and measles IgG antibodies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the 179 participants, regarding anti\u2010rubella antibodies, 171 (95.0%) were positive, 3 (1.7%) were negative, and 6 (3.3%) were borderline. Regarding anti\u2010measles antibodies, 166 (92.2%) of the subjects were positive, 1 (5.6%) was negative, and 13 (17.2%) were borderline. By assuming a positive value for the borderline cases, the ultimate findings demonstrated that 98.3% and 99.4% of the participants were immune against rubella and measles, respectively. There was no statistically significant association between measles and rubella immunity with age or the use of immunosuppressor medication.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Implementation of vaccine program has obtained significant immunity level in inhabitants, particularly women of childbearing age who play a more important role in herd immunity. Therefore, maintaining the national immune screening against rubella and measles is needed to take into consideration to maintain the current satisfactory level of immunization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgf2.677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,25]],"date-time":"2024-02-25T21:04:36Z","timestamp":1708895076000},"page":"95-101","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Serosurvey of anti\u2010rubella and anti\u2010measles IgG antibodies in young females in Jahrom, southern west Iran in 2012: A review of literature of the serological profile in Iran"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Najmeh","family":"Mojarad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Jahrom University of Medical Sciences  Jahrom Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Forouzani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Yasuj University of Medical Sciences  Yasuj Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8841-6059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zahra","family":"Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5454-495X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reza","family":"Shahriarirad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"},{"name":"Thoracic and Vascular Surgery Research Center Shiraz University of Medical Science  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0055043"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21124435"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jgyn.2012.01.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-017-4077-2"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","first-page":"253","article-title":"TORCH infections.
