In this study Rubella virus antibody levels were investigated by using ELISA and IFAT in 94 sera obtained from girl students in Gülhane Military Medical Academy nursing college. We have propagated Rubella virus in BHK-21 cell line for production Rubella virus antigen in order to use IFAT. 81 sera IgG (86.2%) and 29 sera IgM (30.9%) were found positive in ELISA. However 76 sera (80.9%) IgG and 27 sera (28.7%) were positive in IFAT. On the other hand we have obtained suspected results in 8 sera (8.5%) with 1/10 dilution in IgG ELISA and in 3 sera (3.2%) with the same dilution in IgM ELISA. One of 29 sera which are ELISA IgM positive have established 80 IU/ml RF. We can say that ELISA is more reliable sensitive and practical than IFAT. It may be considered 29 student who have Rubella IgM antibody may be infected or reinfected by Rubella virus with in the last six months. On the other hand they may also infected with Parvovirus or some other viruses. We believe that the causes of false positive Rubella IgM antibody results should be investigated well enough.
