Rubella Virus RNA Detection by PCR - Urine

The Rubella Virus RNA Detection by PCR - Urine test is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic technique used to detect the presence of the Rubella virus, also known as German Measles, in a urine sample. The test utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a molecular technique that amplifies tiny quantities of the viral RNA, thereby enabling its detection.

  • Preparations RequiredNo specific dietary or fluid restrictions are necessary for this test.
  • Report Time7 days

Rubella is a contagious disease that can cause mild to moderate symptoms in children and adults, but it poses a significant risk to pregnant women. If contracted during pregnancy, Rubella can lead to severe birth defects, collectively known as Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). Hence, timely detection of Rubella, especially in pregnant women, is crucial.
