I have a patient primip 15weeks FUR:03-10-01, In 07-13-01 she have a Rubella test, IgG 234.0 UI/ml (protection >16 UI/ml). IgM +. A cuantification of IgM 1.34 (cutoff =1.20). His doctor recomended abortion. I think that IgG is too high in comparation with the IgM and could be a 3-4 months old infection and recomended a new determination after 15 days. Do you considered that a negative IgM or the same IgG could be enough to considered an infection before gestation?. Do you think she need a fetal blood sample to detecxt IgM?. Any other suggestion?.

Thanks. L. Folgar Ob/gyn specialist Melilla County Hospital Spain

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
