摘要

Objectives: This study examined the seronegative rates of measles and rubella antibody among foreigners enrolled in health examination in Taipei. Methods: Information of measles and rubella antibody titers between 2009 and 2011 among foreigners in Taipei were collected from medical chats in a regional hospital in Taipei. Results: Female foreigners had higher measles seronegative rather than male foreigners (15.7%vs13.5%; O. R. = 1.163, p ＜ 0.01). The measles and rubella seronegative rates were 24.5% and 13.1% in foreigners under 15 years old. The seronegative rates of measles and rubella were highest in foreigners under 15 years old, and there was a higher seronegative rate of measles in women in reproductive age (15-50 years old) as compared to men. Conclusions: Current policy for screening measles and rubella antibodies among foreigners should be continued by the government, and subordinate health examination units should stick to the policy to achieve full eradication of the diseases.
