Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Jianhai
A positive rubella virus IgG antibody test may have certain implications for pregnancy, potentially leading to cardiovascular malformations in the fetus; therefore, timely consultation and management by a qualified healthcare provider are essential. A positive IgG result may stem from prior rubella vaccination. During treatment, adequate rest is recommended, and prolonged late-night activity should be avoided.
