Question Category : Congenital Infections
My wife is pregnant for three months. (Last period was on MAY 16th 2007.)She had some Rashes and mild fever for three days on 11-June 2007. We suspected German measles infection and tested for TORCH on 11-August 2007 (two months after the rashes and fever appeared) the result was ELISA for RUBELLA IgG Antibody: POSITIVE >250 IU/ml ELISA for RUBELLA IGM Antibody : NEGATIVE The gynecologist said she had no problem / no infection. I heard the Rubella infection is a high risk for the unborn and and hence again we did the Rubella test on 4-Sept -2007 the result was RUBELLA IgG Antibody (ELFA) :POSITIVE >400 UI/ml RUBELLA IGM Antibody (ELFA) : NEGATIVE My concerns are is there any risk for the unborn? How long will the IgM antibodies be present in the body, if she had an infection? Is there is any way we can find a recent rubella infection (within 3- 4 months)? Can you give any suggestions if it was a rubella infection? Thanking you a lot. Check Out the Answer
