Diagnostic Performance of SD Bioline Immunochromatography Test for the Detection of Rubella Specific IgM and Igg Antibodies in Resource Limited Settings

Abstract

Background: The diagnosis of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) cases by only clinical parameters is unreliable. They are mostly confirmed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, currently, there is a need of more rapid, cost effective and less complicated assays.
