About Rubella Immunity Test | IgG Antibody Test in Pacifica
Rubella, also called German measles, is a contagious viral infection that is generally mild but carries significant risk if acquired during early pregnancy.
The virus spreads through respiratory droplets and typically produces a rash, low-grade fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Many infections are subclinical, meaning a person may be infected without noticing symptoms, which makes serologic testing a reliable way to determine exposure or immunity.
IgG antibodies appear after infection or vaccination and generally persist for life, serving as the marker of immunity. IgM antibodies typically rise early in an acute infection and decline over weeks, so their presence can suggest recent infection when interpreted alongside clinical findings and IgG results.
Because congenital rubella syndrome can cause severe birth defects, confirming immunity before or during pregnancy is a common reason for testing. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine is the primary means of preventing rubella, and antibody testing helps identify individuals who may not be protected.
