Question 2

rubella titer test positive what's that mean ?

Accepted Answer

You are immune: Once a person is immunized or had the disease, the titer (test) stays positive for life.  You might be able to determine how soon before the test was done, depending upon the type of antibody test that was done. Igm usually is the marker for a recent infection.  If you have a + test and had no recent symptoms (rash, fever) then i would be happy you are immune!

Question 3

my daughter's test result, rubella lgg shows positive (>200)

what does it mean ? is there anything alarming ?

Accepted Answer

No: Igg is for long term immunity, she is immune, her vaccine has worked.  I guess it's possible she was recently infected, about 4 weeks ago, and is still fighting it off but that is low probability.  She is rubella immune, the titers, since i don't have a lab sheet in front of me, generally say immune over a certain threshold, so talk to her doc but if they weren't alarmed i don't think you should b.

Accepted Answer

No you're fine: As long as you weren't pregnant at the time of immunization, and it sounds like you weren't, the baby will be fine. The antibodies just show that the immunization worked and you are protected as is the baby.
