The rationale for the use of measles post-exposure prophylaxis in pregnant women: A review
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 09/21/09
Manikkavasagan G et al. – UK guidance recommends using human normal immunoglobulin for susceptible pregnant women exposed to measles. Although there is no direct evidence that this will reduce the complications of measles in pregnancy, it may attenuate disease and therefore reduce the rate of complications. Measures to identify women likely to be susceptible include assessment of age, vaccination history, and/or antibody testing.
