Abstract
Background & Aim: According to the maternal health, and the fact that cytomegalovirus infection is associated with abortion and the incidence of fetal malformations, the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalance of cytomegalovirus infection of women in the reproductive age. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on women of childbearing referred to Yasuj Mofatteh clinic in 2013. Ninety-four eligible women (married women aged 17 to 45 years) were selected by random-stratified sampling. After completing the questionnaire which included demographic and clinical characteristics, blood samples were collected and IgG & IgM antibodies titers against CMV were measured by ELISA. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS and statistical tests and independent T-test & chi-square. Results: 98.9% of the participants (93 eligible women) were positive for anti-CMV IgG antibody, whereas the IgM antibody in only one patient (1.1 %) was border line. Also no significant association was observed between the IgG and IgM antibodies and clinical manifestations with demographic variables. Moreover, the titer of IgG and IgM antibodies and clinical manifestations associated with demographic variables was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated that exposure to cytomegalovirus in women at childbearing age was significant in Yasuj and need serious care in order to prevent complications and congenital malformation felt in this group.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Hepatitis B virus vaccination, Ab titer of particular importance in health care workers is high. Due to the fact that the rate of immunization against the disease is not directly measurable, the presence of detectable levels of antibody in the serum of the vaccinated individual, the individual's immunity against disease is considered to be equivalent. The aim of this study was to evaluating the immunity against hepatitis B virus among Yasuj University of Medical Sciences students.
Methods: In this cross - sectional study using purposive sampling 120 students input 2007-2010 were selected. After completing a questionnaire including demographic information and immunization records 5 ml of blood was taken. After separating serum using an ELISA kit specific antibody levels were measured against hepatitis B virus. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test and analysis of variance.
Results: In 74.16% of students the specific IgG Ab against the hepatitis B virus surface Ag were more than 20 IU/L, which is secure and in 19.16% of them the Ab titer was below 10 IU/L which is non immune and in 6.68% of students the Ab titer was between 10-20 IU/L that were borderline. Also in those who had received complete vaccination, immunization rates were 96.67 %.
Conclusion: This study showed if vaccination against hepatitis B was complete, would be a high degree of immunity.
