What is rubella IgG and IgM?

When the body is infected with the rubella virus, it defends itself by producing two types of antibodies in sequence: first, IgM, which appears 3 to 7 days after the onset of symptoms and is present for a few weeks, then IgG, which appears a few days after IgM and lasts for the rest of that person’s life.

What is rubella IgG normal range?

Reference Range: 7 IU/mL or less: Negative – No significant level of detectable rubella IgG antibody. 8-9 IU/mL: Equivocal – Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful. 10 IU/mL or greater: Positive – IgG antibody to rubella detected, which may indicate a current or previous exposure/immunization to rubella.

What if rubella IgM is positive in pregnancy?

Tests for rubella IgM are not indicated unless there is a history of rash in a pregnant woman or contact with a rubella-like rash.
