Rubella, commonly known as German measles,
exhibits symptoms such as a mild rash, low fever, and swollen lymph nodes. In
pregnant women, rubella can lead to severe birth defects. The Rubella Antibody
Test assesses immunity to this virus by detecting antibodies in the blood,
determining an individual’s immunity status or risk of infection. It’s crucial
for prenatal screening, vaccination evaluation, and controlling rubella
outbreaks, especially to safeguard pregnant women and their infants from
potential harm.
