Improved serological diagnosis of rubella.
The use of an enzyme immunoassay-immunoglobulin G antibody test instead of the hemagglutination inhibition test as a primary test for the serological diagnosis of current infection, with complement fixation as an alternate test for use when enzyme immunoassay results are high and stationary, improved the serological diagnosis of rubella.
