Abstract
Abstract Considerable differences are shown in rubella haemagglutination‐inhibiting and neutralizing antibody curves. A rapid development of the haemagglutination‐inhibiting antibody to maximal titres is found within the first months of illness, while the neutralizing antibody reaches maximum as late as 6 to 15 months after infection. Both types of antibody persist at least 3½ years. With respect to serodiagnosis of rubella, the importance of obtaining the first serum sample as soon as possible after the appearance of rash is emphasized, regardless of the type of antibody sought.
