DIAGNOSIS
To diagnose Rubella, the doctor might perform laboratory tests. He or she may also do a virus culture or blood test to detect if there are any rubella antibodies in the patient’s blood. It is important to know what virus is causing the symptoms for the proper treatment to be done.
TREATMENT
Generally, the symptom of this infection is so mild and usually doesn’t need to be treated. If you are an overall healthy person, the infection will go away on its own. However, pregnant women need to be cautious to prevent any complications with her baby. She may be given antibodies called hyperimmune globulin that can fight off the infection. Although it doesn’t remove the rubella antibodies, it may help in relieving the symptoms. Talk with your doctor for more risk or any other concern regarding this.
