Rubella (German measles)can cause fetal abnormalities if the pregnant woman contracts it during the first trimester,so all pregnant women are screened for immunity.A positive test means the woman is immune to the disease,whereas a negative test indicates susceptibility to it.The woman needs to avoid people who may be ill with rubella and be immunized after her delivery.There is no need for a double check of the results.
