What is RUBELLA IgG AVIDITY?

The Rubella IgG Avidity test helps determine if a rubella infection is recent or occurred in the past. It measures the binding strength of IgG antibodies to the rubella virus, which changes over time after infection. This test is crucial, especially for pregnant individuals, to assess the risk to the fetus.

Why is this test important?

Clinically, this test is vital for managing rubella exposure during pregnancy. A low avidity score suggests a recent primary infection, which carries a higher risk of congenital rubella syndrome. A high avidity score indicates a past infection, usually implying immunity and a lower risk.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
