About this test

  • Low-grade fever or general malaise
  • Mild pink or red rash that spreads from the face to the body
  • Swollen lymph nodes, especially behind the ears or at the back of the neck
  • Joint pain or stiffness (particularly in adult women)
  • Mild conjunctivitis or eye redness
  • Headache or runny nose resembling a mild cold
  • In pregnant individuals: no symptoms at all, yet testing is critical due to risk to fetal development
  • Previous vaccination or unclear immunisation history
  • Planning pregnancy or undergoing fertility evaluation
  • Recent exposure to someone with a rubella-like illness

Recommended for individuals who are planning to become pregnant, undergoing fertility treatments, or are currently pregnant and unsure of their rubella immunity status.
Also ideal for those with unclear vaccination records, healthcare workers, teachers, or anyone who may have been exposed to rubella.
This test is especially important for women of childbearing age to prevent potential complications during pregnancy.
Suitable for anyone wanting to confirm past infection or vaccine-induced immunity to rubella—even if they have no symptoms.

  • Uncertain rubella immunity status (especially in women of childbearing age)
  • Pregnancy or planning pregnancy without known immunity
  • Congenital rubella syndrome risk in newborns if maternal immunity is lacking
  • Lack of childhood vaccination or incomplete vaccine records
  • Post-exposure assessment after contact with someone with rubella
  • Weakened immune systems due to medical treatments or chronic illness
  • Healthcare, childcare, or teaching roles where rubella exposure risk is higher
  • Travel to countries with lower vaccination rates
  • Routine immunity screening for fertility or antenatal care
