## Abstract Without appropriately timed specimens, serological confirmation of congenital rubella infection may be a problem. We have compared the persistence of specific IgM and low avidity specific IgG~1~ in 141 sera from 120 cases of serologically confirmed congenital rubella infection with the

Sixty-four subjects' serum samples, positive or equivocal by rubella IgM assays and containing rubella IgG, were examined for the avidity of rubella IgG. Four of the sera originated from rubella reinfections; others had false-positive IgM results due to interference by parvovirus infection or by oth
## Abstract Between two and seven sera from cases of persistent detection of rubellaβspecific IgM for periods in excess of 2.5 months, but in the absence of recent primary rubella or rubella reinfection, were examined for rheumatoid factor, heterophile antibody, and IgM reactivity against toxoβplas
