What Is This Test?
A blood test that measures IgM & IgG antibodies against rubella virus.
Why this test is performed?
Helps diagnose rubella (German measles), which can cause birth defects if caught in pregnancy. IgM antibodies appear early, so a positive IgM usually suggests a recent or current infection. IgG antibodies develop later and last longer, so a positive IgG usually indicates past infection or immunity (from infection or vaccination).
Who should take this test?
Women planning pregnancy or who are pregnant, as advised by the gynaecologist.
Test Preparation
No fasting needed.
