A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
