Rubella IgG Immunity Test

This blood titer test confirms whether or not an individual was vaccinated for the Rubella virus by detecting the presence or absence of IgG antibodies to the virus, or if an individual has gained immunity to the Rubella virus. It does not determine if an individual has a current, active Rubella infection.

The Rubella virus is the cause of German measles which usually results in a mild rash, however, when acquired in utero, the rubella virus can cause congenital rubella syndrome leading to fetal demise, malformation, deafness and mental retardation.
