ABSTRACT Rubella virus infection is typically diagnosed by the identification of rubella virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in serum, but approximately 50% serum samples from cases collected on day rash onset are negative for IgM. The ability to detect IgM sera and oral fluids was compared with RNA reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) using paired taken within first 4 days after suspected during an outbreak Perú. Sera were tested both indirect capture enzyme immunoassays (EIAs),...

Most persons with rubella virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM)- or IgG-positive sera tested positive (98% [n = 178] and 99% 221], respectively) using paired filter paper dried blood spot (DBS) samples, provided that DBS indeterminate results were called positive. For IgM- IgG-negative sera, 97% 98%, respectively, negative DBS.
