The Rubella IgM antibody test detects Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against the rubella virus, which are produced at the early stages of infection. A positive result for IgM antibodies indicates a recent or active rubella infection, suggesting the presence of the virus. Healthcare professionals use this test to identify recent, postnatal, and congenital rubella infections.
