What is the gold standard for laboratory confirmation of measles in pregnancy?

Viral culture: Ig m is an easy test for screening. Rt-pcr may also be used for confirmation.

Immune status: Ordering measles antibodies through blood testing will determine if you have had measles. The IgM titer will reveal a recent infection; the IgG titer will reveal past infection and immunity.
