What does a positive rubella virus IgG test mean?
Disease description:
I had a medical examination a few days ago and went to collect the results today. The report shows a positive rubella virus IgG test. What does a positive rubella virus IgG result mean?
Rubella virus IgG positive indicates a prior rubella virus infection; the body has since developed antibodies, resulting in this test outcome. Alternatively, this result may reflect previous vaccination against rubella, which has conferred immunity to the virus. In either case, there is no cause for concern, and no specific intervention is typically required.
