Clinically apparent rubella reinfection.
We report two cases of rubella reinfection in apparently immunocompetent young women. In both cases rubella-specific IgG had been detected on two occasions prior to an illness clinically diagnosed as rubella. Rubella-specific IgM was detected by various techniques in samples of serum collected at the time of the illness.
