    What is Rubella antibody IgG Test?

    The Rubella Antibody IgG test plays a vital role in assessing immunity to the rubella virus (RuV). Rubella, commonly referred to as German measles, is a viral infection that spreads easily and is caused by the RuV virus. The infection typically results in a mild fever and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. While rubella may seem harmless, it poses a significant risk to unborn babies if contracted during pregnancy. Pregnant women are particularly at risk as rubella can cause congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) or even miscarriage. CRS, which often occurs during the first trimester, can lead to serious birth defects such as hearing loss, vision issues like cataracts, and heart defects.

    The Rubella IgG test checks for the presence of IgG antibodies, which are produced following infection or vaccination and provide long-lasting immunity. The rubella vaccine, administered as part of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination, offers robust protection against rubella. For women looking to conceive, it is important to confirm immunity as rubella during pregnancy can result in serious harm to the unborn child. Routine testing for rubella antibodies is advised for those planning to have children or who are unsure of their vaccination status.

    If you're in Mumbai and want to check your immunity to rubella, you can conveniently schedule a Rubella Antibody IgG test from home to ensure you’re immune.

    Rubella antibody IgG Test Parameters

    The Rubella IgG test evaluates the levels of IgG antibodies that target the rubella virus.

    Typically, rubella IgG antibodies appear around the fourth day following the onset of a rash and peak within two weeks. These antibodies persist throughout life, indicating previous exposure or vaccination against rubella. For individuals who may have been recently exposed to rubella, rubella-specific IgG antibodies are instrumental in confirming immunity and diagnosing infection. After childbirth, a four-fold or greater increase in rubella-specific IgG antibodies suggests infection or re-infection. For those pregnant and exposed to rubella, measuring rubella-specific IgG antibodies is critical in evaluating immunity.

    In cases of congenital rubella, rubella-specific IgG antibodies in a child help confirm infection by observing their persistence or increase during the first six to 12 months. The detection of rubella-specific IgG antibodies serves as a reliable marker of both immunity and recent infection, making the test important for rubella protection.

    Rubella antibody IgG Test Preparation

    If you're preparing for a Rubella IgG test from home, here are some things you should be aware of:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need to fast before taking the Rubella IgG test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    To detect IgG antibodies effectively, the test should be taken four days after the rash appears. Consult your doctor to ensure the timing is right for you.

    • Who Should Get a Rubella IgG Test?

    This test is recommended for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant to check their rubella immunity. It is also useful for individuals showing rubella symptoms, those who may have been exposed to the virus, or those who want to confirm if they’ve had the vaccine or a past infection.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Rubella IgG test

    Make sure to let your doctor know if you've had the rubella vaccine before, as this information can help in interpreting the test results accurately.

    Why Take the Rubella antibody IgG Test?

    The Rubella IgG test serves several key purposes in detecting immunity and recent infection:

    To Evaluate Immunity in Pregnant or Potential Mothers: Pregnant women, or those hoping to conceive, undergo this test to confirm if they have immunity to rubella. Immunity is vital for protecting both the mother and foetus from conditions like congenital rubella syndrome.

    To Diagnose Recent or Active Rubella Infections: If someone displays symptoms of a viral infection, this test can help determine if rubella is the cause. IgM antibodies point to a recent infection, while IgG antibodies suggest past immunity or vaccination.

    To Confirm Immunity from Vaccination: This test helps verify whether a person has acquired immunity from a rubella vaccine. Detecting rubella-specific IgG antibodies means the person is protected, either from past infection or vaccination.

    To Screen for Congenital Rubella in Infants: In cases where newborns have birth defects, this test helps determine if congenital rubella is responsible. Early diagnosis can lead to better management and care for the infant.

    For Healthcare Workers Dealing with Pregnant Patients: Medical professionals working with pregnant women might need this test to confirm rubella immunity. If they are found to lack immunity, vaccination may be suggested to protect their patients from potential complications.

    Rubella antibody IgG Test Results and Interpretation

    Rubella-specific IgG antibodies provide key insights into whether a person has immunity through previous infection or vaccination, or if they remain susceptible to rubella. Below is a table summarizing the test results:

    ParameterBiological ReferenceInterpretation
    Rubella Antibody IgG TestNegative: <10 IU/mL Equivocal: 10-14 IU/mL Positive: => 15The Rubella IgG test is used to diagnose rubella infection and assess immunity status. A positive IgG result usually indicates immunity, either from past infection or vaccination. Follow-up testing after 3 weeks to monitor an increase in IgG levels can confirm an ongoing infection. A stable IgG level or no rise doesn’t completely rule out infection. A negative result suggests no prior exposure to rubella.

    Please Note: For those vaccinated, the rubella virus can remain in respiratory secretions for up to 4 weeks post-vaccination, with antibodies persisting for at least 16 years and potentially for life in about 95% of cases. In congenital rubella, antibodies might disappear by age 3-4, so a negative result in older children doesn’t definitively exclude congenital rubella.
