The IgM Rubella test is ordered if you are pregnant and have signs or symptoms which may indicate rubella infection like fever, rashes, inflamed eyes, aching joints etc. It may be ordered when a newborn is born with birth defects such as hearing loss, heart defects or cataracts. Rubella is a virus that creates a rash on the skin and causes joint discomfort. Rubella is a minor infection in most adults, but it can be fatal to an unborn child. If a pregnant woman has Rubella, her baby is in danger of birth abnormalities or death. Rubella is also commonly referred to as “German Measles”. However, the Rubella virus is not the same as measles. Rubella virus produces a moderate infection that lasts two to three days. The disease is very infectious, but a vaccination can help avoid it. The body's immune system creates Rubella antibodies in response to immunisation or illness with the Rubella virus. A Rubella IgM test identifies and analyses Rubella antibodies in the blood. This antibody testing is the most usual way to confirm that you have been infected with Rubella recently. A Rubella IgM antibody test is generally performed on a pregnant woman or a woman planning to become pregnant to see if she is at risk for the disease. Rubella antibodies in the blood can be detected using a variety of scientific procedures. However, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is the most widely utilised approach ELISA, EIA. Approximately half of the Rubella cases are so mild that no symptoms are present. If symptoms do arise, they generally do so two to three weeks following the illness. When a pregnant woman acquires Rubella for the first time during the first three months of her pregnancy, it is the most severe issue. At this stage, the virus is most dangerous to the growing infant (foetus). Rubella can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). CRS is a collection of catastrophic birth problems that will afflict the kid for the rest of their life. Studies show that CRS is a critical public health problem in India and the country is determined to tackle it with immunisation, targeting children aged 9 months to 14 years. CRS can result in intellectual and developmental difficulties and deafness, cataracts, minimal head, liver issues and heart anomalies. Rubella is usually transferred when someone ingests (swallows) or inhales an infected person's cough or sneeze droplets. For months or even years, infants having CRS will shed the Rubella virus in their nasal and throat secretions, as well as in their urine. Symptoms generally appear between 14 and 17 days (and up to 21 days) after being exposed to the virus. Rubella-infected people are contagious for about a week before the rash appears and at least four days afterwards. Rubella is a contagious disease that affects children. Because the symptoms of Rubella are vague and non-specific, it can be challenging to diagnose. Fever is caused by various infections other than Rubella and the rash looks similar to other forms of rashes. Rubella has no particular medical therapy and the symptoms are typically minor. Because the infection is viral, antibiotics are ineffective. The goal of this treatment is to alleviate symptoms while lowering the risk of consequences. To limit the danger of infecting others, an individual should isolate themself for at least four days after the rash appears. If a woman gets Rubella while pregnant, consult the doctors for better treatment options.
