Since IgM antibody does not normally cross the human placenta, these findings are suggestive of in-utero infection. Antibody to Ross River virus was also present in eight of the 11 mothers of children with IgM-positive cord blood. One of the mothers with IgM-negative blood had no detectable haemagglutination-inhibiting antibody to Ross River virus. All children appeared normal at birth.
