What is RUBELLA IgM?

The Rubella IgM test checks for recent or active rubella infection by detecting IgM antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are usually the first type produced by your body in response to a new infection. This test is important for diagnosing current rubella cases, especially in pregnant women or those planning pregnancy.

Why is this test important?

Detecting Rubella IgM antibodies indicates a recent or ongoing rubella infection. This is critical during pregnancy, as active rubella can lead to serious birth defects. Early diagnosis allows for appropriate medical management and counseling to mitigate potential risks.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
