Abstract
Introduction: Rubella infection in early pregnancy can lead to miscarriages, fetal death, or birth of an infant with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Like other developing countries, in Yemen rubella surveillance is not well-established. So, the aim of this study was conducted with the objectives of estimating the seroprevalence and potential risk factors in acquiring rubella infection by pregnant women in Hodeidah city Yemen.
