ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To assess the risk of hospital outbreak and to guide immunization policy, seroprevalences of antibody to measles, rubella, and varicella-zoster were determined in hospital personnel.METHODS:
A cross-sectional study of 290 workers in Seoul National University Hospital was conducted in June 1995. IgG antibody status was determined with commercially available enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Behring Enzygnost; IgG kit).RESULTS:
Seropositive rates of measles, rubella and varicella-zoster were 95.6%, 87.9% and 96.2%, respectively. There was no statistical difference in seropositive rate according to historical information.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest potential for hospital outbreak of measles or varicella-zoster, especially of rubella. Immunization policy will be needed in hospital personnel.
