INTERPRETATION

REACTIVE

The presence of any visible agglutination, significantly different from the nonreactive control, indicates the presence of antibodies against rubella virus in the serum sample.

NONREACTIVE

Smooth or finely granular suspension with no visible agglutination. When a nonreactive result is obtained on undiluted serum, the sample should be retested at 1:10, as occasionally a decrease in the degree of agglutination has been reported with high titered specimens.
