Description
The Rubella IgM ELISA test system is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of IgM class antibodies to Rubella in human serum or plasma. Rubella is usually a mild disease with infrequent complication. In unvaccinated populations, rubella is primarily a childhood disease. Where children are well-immunized, adolescent and adult infections become more evident. The presence of IgG antibody to rubella virus is indicative of vaccination or previous exposure. In individuals with acute rubella infection, four-fold or greater increase in IgG antibody level is indicative of recent infection. Rubella IgM antibodies are detected by ELISA in 100% of patients between days 11-25 after onset of the exanthem, in 60-80% of individuals at days 15-25 after vaccination and in 90-97% of infants with congenital rubella between 2 weeks and 3 months after birth. Rubella IgM antibody often persists for 20-30 days after acute infection or vaccination.
