Overview
There are no standard screening test recommended for rubella infection, however pregnant women with suspected rubella infection must be investigated to confirm the diagnosis to prevent fetal anomalies.[1]
Screening
There is no screening test for rubella, however, if there is a high clinical suspicion of rubella infection during pregnancy, serum IgG and IgM antibodies against rubella may be ordered. Also, if a pregnant woman proves to be not immune aganist rubella, vaccination with MMR should be deferred till after delivery due to the theoretical teratogenic effects of the rubella vaccine.[2][3][4]
