Does a rubella igg test 400 mean you are immune to both types of measles?

A rubella IgG test result of 400 indicates that you have immunity to rubella, not measles. Rubella is distinct from measles, which is caused by a different virus. To be immune to measles, you would need to have a specific IgG test for measles, not rubella. Therefore, a high rubella IgG level does not imply immunity to measles.

According to a Yahoo! Health article (http://health.yahoo.com/infectiousdisease-diagnosis/rubella-test/healthwise--hw5576.html):A rubella blood test detects antibodies that are made by the immune system to help kill the rubella virus. These antibodies remain in the bloodstream for years. The presence of certain antibodies indicates a recent infection, a past infection, or that you have been vaccinated against the disease.The presence of IgM antibodies means you have a current or recent rubella infection.The presence of IgG antibodies means you have immunity against the infection. This immunity could have been received either through vaccination for rubella or a past rubella infection.As long as the IgM test is negative, both you and your baby are in the clear!

The test can identify whether a person has been vaccinated against rubella or has had a past infection. Results typically help guide vaccination decisions and public health measures.


After having rubella as a child blood test shows negative results?

A negative blood test for rubella after having the infection as a child may indicate that the immune response has waned over time or that the test may not have detected antibodies due to timing or testing methodology. It's also possible that the child may not have had rubella, or that a vaccination rather than natural infection occurred. If there are concerns about immunity, a healthcare provider may recommend getting re-tested or vaccinated to ensure protection against rubella.
