Question 1

i am almost  9 weeks pregnant and one of the results was my rubella igg test. it came back positive.  should i be worried?  i don't know  what to fee.

Accepted Answer

No: Rubella titers should be positive and suggests you have immunity.

Question 2

i just got my results back for a blood test done for the rubella ab (igg). test is positive my level is 3.05 is that okay? i am 15 weeks pregnant

Accepted Answer

Yes: That means that you are immune to rubella, likely from the MMR vaccine you would have received as a child.  Your baby and you are protected from rubella infection should you be exposed during pregnancy. Though of course if you come into contact with someone with rubella, to be safe you should avoid them going forward. Also, congratulations on being an expecting mom!

Question 3

12 weeks pregnant.  i have immunity to rubella according to my igg test. my igm test came back positive. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Are you sick?: Rubella igm can stick around indefinitely after your immunization, or be a false-positive. I would stop worrying. Rubella is a terrible disease when it affects the unborn child, and it is still very much with us as evidenced by outbreaks in europe due to lack of immunization.

Question 4

what should be the result of rubella igg test during 9 weeks pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The rubella blood test is checking to see if you are immune to the rubella virus. Rubella, also known as german measles, can cause problems for the baby if the mom gets it while pregnant. If igg is positive then she is immune and she doesn't need to worry about german measles. If negative she needs to avoid sick people with rash, and get immunized after delivery.

Question 5

my wife now is in 11th week of pregnant. her rubella ab igg test report is 4563.0 & reference range is non reactive < 10 and reactive >=10. pls advice?

Accepted Answer

Protection: Igg antibody indicates that she has good protection against rubella and this is good especially for a pregnant woman.  In the future, if you have questions, you should ask the doctor who ordered the test since he knows more about the specific circumstances than an outsider.

Question 6

i'm currently 25 years old.my rubella-igg test result is 390mm/iu.what does it mean, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Your rubella titer is positive...Indicating you have immunity to rubella and that is a good thing.

Question 7

my rubella igg test came positive 153.9 ..is it a reason to worry as the doctor did another test after 2 weeks igm and triple test ...is it needed?

Accepted Answer

Positive IgG: A positive IgG for rubella indicates you have had the virus in the past or have been successfully immunized. This is a good thing if you are planning a pregnancy. Your doctor may have a reason for ordering more tests, just ask. All the best.

Question 8

i have rubella igg level 1.2, does that mean i have rubella ?

Accepted Answer

No: Rubella igg is the antibody that is formed when you have been exposed to rubella in the past.  So this means that you have either had the infection, or been immunized against rubella in the past, and you are now immune to ever getting it again.

Question 9

what does the rubella ab igg test tell you?

Accepted Answer

Past disease: A positive igg study will show that a female has a protective level of rubella antibody created by a past infection or immunization. Present or future pregnancies would not be at risk of rubella disease.

Question 10

i had a rubella igg test which was a 5, after that i had an r-vac vaccine, now the igg count is 181.6. is this good?

Accepted Answer

Rubella titer: Your titer values indicate you are immunized against rubella.
