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
The detection of IgA and low-avidity IgG and antibodies in serum is a potentially useful marker of recent infection by a microorganism. We studied the reliability of IgG avidity and presence of IgA for the diagnosis of recent acute infection by rubella virus. Low-avidity IgG (Avy-EIA test) was deter
The quality of hemolysis in the single radial hemolysis (SRH) test was observed to be altered in a small proportion (5.7%) of sera (N = 9628) studied for rubella rubella antibodies. Three different types of altered hemolysis were identified. Two of these types, the "soft margin" (SM) or the "soft zo
