The Rubella (IgG & IgM) test is a blood test used to detect antibodies produced in response to infection with the rubella virus, also known as German measles.

IgM antibodies indicate a recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies indicate past infection or immunity, often due to vaccination. This distinction helps determine whether a person is currently infected or protected against the virus.

The test is especially important for pregnant women, as rubella infection during pregnancy can lead to serious complications for the fetus, including congenital rubella syndrome.

The purpose of this test is to

• To detect rubella IgG and IgM antibodies
• To assess immunity to rubella
• To identify recent or past infection
• To support prenatal screening
• To help prevent congenital infections
