Does 'rubella IgG reactive' indicate any infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If pregnancy has been ruled out already, then the delay is likely to be stress induced. However, it is important to learn if she has any hormonal imbalances and ever had irregular menses or not with possible causes being hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia or PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease). Nevertheless, the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) indicate rubella IgG positive, which indicates previous infection, not recent or ongoing. Secondly, the urine report shows urinary tract infection with WBC (white blood cells) and pus cells. So, she would require a short course of antibiotics for the same. It is suggested that she should get an ultrasound pelvis done to check for endometrial thickness and also for ovarian volume and follicular status.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Antibiotics are not required for rubella but required for her urinary infection. As of now for at least five days. IgG rubella positive indicates past infection against which immunity has developed already. Also, it is seen that post marriage the menses tend to be irregular for four to six months. So, if the menses do not arrive naturally for another seven days, then she can opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterone to resume her menses.
