Neonatal infections are infections acquired before, during or in the first month after birth. Infections can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Clinical symptoms of neonatal infections are often diverse and complex.

Rubella is a common virus in pregnant women. This is an infectious disease, very contagious but can be prevented by vaccination. Rubella testing is necessary for pregnant women to ensure the health of both mother and child.

The tests commonly used to diagnose Rubella are IgG or IgM serum tests. These tests are intended to check whether the patient has Rubella antibodies in order to advise on appropriate vaccination.
