Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 32-year-old female. Recently, I got tested for rubella. I checked it in three places, and the results were different. I am testing it, as I am willing to get pregnant. My first test result showed an IgG level of 6, and the other test result showed an IgG level of 5. All three results showed a negative IgM. When I was 11 years old, I got a vaccination for rubella twice.

Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).

As per the laboratory reports, one thing is clear: you are not immune to rubella, as the titers of IgG are below the required level. You are in a safer zone, as you were appropriately vaccinated in childhood.

In rare cases, due to numerous reasons, we do not develop complete immunity. Do not plan for pregnancy now. Get revaccinated again, check the titers, and then think about conceiving.

I hope this helps.
