Toxoplasmosis and rubella are two grave infections in pregnancy. The toxoplasmosis primo-infection rate in pregnancy is 1%. The risk of congenital rubella in child issud from seronegative women is estimated at 0.4/1000 birth.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis and rubella in this population. A statistic analysis based on the X2 test is performed - 43% of women are not immunisated against toxoplasmosis. - 20% of women are not immunisated against rubella. Therefore, there is an insuffisient rate of vaccination against rubella. Concerning toxoplasmosis, the prenatal survey remain the unique possibility of prevention.
