> 9.9 IU/mL INTERPRETATION: ≥ 10 IU/mL POSITIVE A result greater than, or equal to 10 IU/mL is considered to be POSITIVE for IgG antibody to rubella virus, and is indicative of a past infection or vaccination. 5 - 9.9 IU/mL INDETERMINATE A result greater than, or equal to 5 IU/mL, and less than 10 IU/mL is considered INDETERMINATE. A result of indeterminate indicates an intermediate level of rubella IgG antibodies in the sample. Suggest retesting patient in one week. <5 IU/mL NEGATIVE A result less than 5 IU/mL is considered NEGATIVE. Negative results by this test do not preclude recent primary infection. |
