[Thoughts on a case of unrecognized congenital rubella]
Abstract
We recently observed a case of congenital rubella which had gone unrecognized despite regular obstetrical care. This case emphasizes the importance of careful screening for rubella at diagnosis of pregnancy. Minute analysis of the initial maternal antibody levels is essential to rule out possible contamination during pregnancy. The problem of interpreting serodiagnostic data is discussed.
