RUBELLA – IgM

The rubella antibody (IgM) test detects IgM antibodies against the rubella virus, indicating a recent or acute infection. A positive rubella IgM test suggests a current or recent rubella infection, prompting immediate medical attention and appropriate treatment. This test is used to diagnose acute rubella infection, guide treatment decisions, and implement public health measures to control outbreaks. The test provides valuable information for managing rubella infections, preventing complications, and ensuring timely intervention to reduce the spread of the virus.
