Abstract:
:The serological diagnosis of primary postnatal rubella infection is based on detection of rubella-virus-specific IgM antibody or a four-fold rise in rubella-specific IgG antibody. Although there are several different methods of enzyme immunoassays that are commercially available, the cost benefit evaluation makes them impractical for use in developing countries. For this reason, we have standardized the measurement of rubella IgM antibody by HAI following serum fractionation by ion-exchange chromatography. The sera samples obtained from pregnant women infected with rubella virus at different times during gestation were fractionated and tested by HAI. Seven out of nine sera collected within the first two days after onset of rash showed detectable levels of rubella IgM antibody. All 57 sera collected between 3 and 30 days after the onset of rash contained rubella IgM antibody. After 30 days, only 1 of 5, or 20%, of sera contained IgM antibody. The HAI testing method was rapid and specific and the cost was not prohibitive. HAI-IgM testing could be used to diagnose primary rubella infections in developing countries where expensive EIAs are unaffordable.
