Abstract

Rubella is a contagious infectious disease caused by the togavirus belonging to the genus Rubivirus. It is a benign disease, with more severe effects on the fetus during the first trimester of pregnancy. About 90 % are immunoglobulin G antibody titers protective in vaccinated populations, but these titles in adolescents who received the vaccine, the program had not been implemented in our country, are unknown hence the research question posed it was ¿What are the titles of IgG anti-rubella protectors in the students of CPEE and CNV, aged between 16 and 18, the same as its performance is justi ed, because adolescents without protective antibody titers, infectious foci are women of reproductive age and more severe in infancy, with consequences for the fetus. The objective was to determine the protective antibody titers in adolescents of both sexes, two urban schools (CEED) and rural (CNV). The methodology being descriptive, cross-sectional study was the application of a survey, training through lectures, delivery of material with basic information and easy to understand, venous blood for determination of antibody titers IgG anti protectors rubella. The remarkable nding is positivity protective antibody titers in IgG anti- rubella adolescents of CPEE and CNV is 82,47 % and 17,53 % negativity, this latter gure we are concerned by the risk of disease rubella.
