Resumo: Aims: To determine the prevalence of rubella IgG antibody in pregnant women at São Lucas Hospital, Porto Alegre, Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study from April 2004 to June 2004 of 577 pregnant women attending the antenatal care facilities and the obstetric center. The rubella IgG antibodies were detected in the serum of the pregnant women using a commercial immunoassay technique. Results: The prevalence of rubella antibody in the 577 pregnant women who participated of this study was 95% (95% CI: 93%-97%). Conclusions: This study address the prevalence of rubella virus infection among pregnant women, and deal with the still underestimated public health problem of congenital rubella syndrome in Brazil. Additional research in diferent areas of the country is recommend, because the prevalence of imunity may vary from place to place.

Métodos: foi realizado um estudo transversal no período de abril a junho de 2004. Foram selecionadas 577 pacientes do ambulatório de pré-natal de baixo risco e do centro obstétrico. Os anticorpos IgG para rubéola foram pesquisados, no sangue das gestantes, por uma técnica de imunoensaio disponível comercialmente. Resultados: a prevalência dos anticorpos para rubéola nas 577 pacientes estudadas foi de 95% (IC 95%: 93%-97%). Conclusões: este estudo permite conhecer a prevalência da imunidade contra o vírus da rubéola em gestantes, ajudando a lidar com um problema brasileiro de saúde pública subestimado, que é a síndrome da rubéola congênita. Novas pesquisas são necessárias em outras áreas do país, pois a prevalência de imunidade pode variar de acordo com as regiões estudadas e nortear medidas de saúde pública que previnam surtos de rubéola.
