606例妇女中有573例（94.6%）、604例中有583例（96.5%）、595例中有575例（96.6%）检出风疹病毒抗体、巨细胞病毒抗体和单纯疱疹病毒抗体。抗风疹病毒血凝抑制抗体的几何平均滴度（GMT）为60.97；巨细胞病毒和单纯疱疹病毒补体固定抗体的GMT分别为28.49和25.01。在517名妇女中，301名（58.2%）通过被动血凝试验检测出弓形虫抗体（GMT = 10.12）。除了贝都因人对风疹病毒的抗体率和GMT明显高于其他民族，以及地中海阿拉伯人对弓形虫抗体的免疫力和GMT明显高于其他民族外，所研究的不同民族之间的抗体流行率和GMT没有发现显著差异。不同年龄组的抗体流行率和GMT没有显著差异。[这些发现是根据科威特先天性畸形的发病率来讨论的。]
Antibody to rubella virus, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus was found in 573 of 606 (94.6%), 583 of 604 (96.5%) and 575 of 595 (96.6%) women, respectively. The geometric mean titer (GMT) of hemagglutination-inhibition antibody to rubella virus was 60.97; the GMT of complement-fixation antibody to cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus were 28.49 and 25.01, respectively. Of 517 women, 301 (58.2%) also possessed antibody to toxoplasma (GMT = 10.12) as detected by the passive-hemagglutination test. No significant differences in antibody prevalence or GMT were found among the various nationalities studied except among Bedouins who showed a significantly higher rate and GMT of antibody to rubella virus and for the Mediterranean Arabs who showed significantly higher rate of immunity to and GMT to toxoplasma antibody when compared to other nationalities. No significant differences in antibody prevalence or GMT were found among the various age groups. [These findings are discussed in light of the incidence of congenital malformations in Kuwait.].
