Rubella testing may be used to:Confirm the presence of adequate protection against the rubella virus (immunity)Detect a recent or past infectionIdentify those who have never been exposed to the virus and those who have not been vaccinatedVerify that all pregnant women and those planning to become pregnant have a sufficient amount (titer) of rubella antibodies to protect them from infectionRubella is a viral infection that is usually mild and marked by fever and rash that last about 2 to 3 days. The infection usually resolves without treatment. However, if a pregnant woman contracts it for the first time during the first three months of her pregnancy, rubella can cause serious complications in the developing baby (fetus). (For more on this, read the "What is being tested/" section.)A rubella test may be ordered for a person, pregnant or not, who has symptoms that a health practitioner suspects are due to a rubella infection. It may also be ordered for a newborn who is suspected to have become infected during pregnancy or that presents with congenital birth defects that a health practitioner suspects may be due to a rubella infection.
