Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Aim: To detect anti-measles viruses IgG and IgM antibodies using rapid test Cassette and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: From October 2024 to December 2024, 352 blood samples obtained from female individuals, including 176 women who had abortions and 176 women with normal pregnancies. IgG and IgM samples were detected using the Cassette and ELISA methods. RESULTS: Results: Recent measles virus infections, as indicated by rapid IgM test results, showed no significant difference between the abortion group and the control group p=0.248. Additionally, past infections, confirmed by rapid IgG tests, were not significantly different between the patient group and the control group p=0.135. Overall, there was no significant difference in measles virus IgM and IgG levels between the abortion and control groups p>0.05. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The level of education showed significant impact on abortion. Age, residency, and occupation do not affect the risk of abortion, while a low level of education is a significant risk factor for abortion. MV, there was no significant difference in the levels of IgM and IgG between the abortion group and the control group.
