Abstract
Normal responses of rubella-specific IgG and IgM antibody were assessed in eight patient by immunofluorescence. A prolonged rubella-specific IgM response was shown in three patients with complications of rubella infection. Two patients had thrombocytopenic purpura and one had carpal-tunnel compression.
