If you do have a Hoffman's sign, you have spinal cord compression. This may be a result of a herniated disc in your neck.

If you meant Homan's sign (which is neither sensitive or specific), you may have a condition called deep vein thrombosis which is a blood clot in your leg. This clot can dislodge and go to your lungs (pulmonary embolism) which can be a fatal condition. You may also develop future issues with incompetent leg veins which would lead to varicose veins.

Does rubella IgG positive have any effect on newborn?

Yes, the rubella test (igg) should be positive during pregnancy, which means that you have taken the vaccination prior. Negative result (igg) doesn't mean that you are infected with rubella, however this means that you doesn't have Rubella antibodies in your blood stream. If your result comes out negative, then you should perform another test for Rubella igm, positive results will confirm your infection with this virus.


Why is it acceptable to record a positive result before the suggested incubation timne is completed but it is not acceptable to record a negative result early when doing a urea hydrolysis test?

1. It is less likely to get a false positive result. Usually the test can detect the pure organism right away. It is therefore acceptable to record positive test before suggested incubation time is completed. A negative result should not be recorded early because sometimes it takes longer for bacteria to hydrolyze the material.
