Rubella IgM

Experiencing fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes, or joint pain? A Rubella IgM Test may be recommended to check for a recent or acute rubella infection. This blood test detects IgM antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the rubella virus.

Elevated IgM levels indicate a current infection, while IgG antibodies suggest past exposure or vaccination. Accurate rubella diagnosis is especially important during pregnancy, as an active infection can result in congenital birth defects.

Timely medical assessment and appropriate precautions can prevent complications and ensure proper care for both you and your baby. The Rubella IgM Test plays a vital role in early detection, treatment planning, and public health protection.
