There are few applications of virology to clinical medicine that have received more attention than the laboratory diagnosis of rubella. Many laboratories attempt it and most readers of this journal will be familiar with the techniques that have been used. It would therefore be superfluous to review the ‘state of the artm’ had there not recently been an innovation that is likely to alter laboratory practice in this field.
