Q

German measles test. Antibodies (in the body) result from an acute viral communicable infection. Usually seen in children or young adults. Patient will have a red or pink rash, lymphadenopathy, Pharyngitis, and conjunctivitis. (Incubation period is 14 to 21 days – after exposure – and is spread by droplet spray). The blood antibodies will remain for 4 to 5 weeks – then be gone completely.
