Hi mbak Windy,

Saya coba posting salah satu link artikel tentang Evaluasi dan Management
treatment Rubella dari website _CDC_.  Maaf artikelnya cukup panjang dan
masih dalam versi bahasa Inggris.

Saya coba kutip bagian yang khusus tentang management treatment untuk wanita
hamil yang terdeteksi Rubella (baik yang igG (+), igM (+), yang keduanya (+)
atau (-)).  Mungkin bisa jadi tambahan info untuk mbak.

Seperti kata obgyn-nya mbak, memang Rubella termasuk salah satu virus dan
tidak ada obatnya.  Dari kutipan artikel ini sekilas saya baca,
treatment-nya memang berkisar dengan test darah ulang juga monitor
perkembangan fetus dan ibu.

Best wishes untuk kehamilannya, ya mbak :)

*Screening and Follow-Up of Pregnant Women Who Might Have Been Exposed to
Rubella*

Because the consequences of rubella infection during pregnancy are serious,
every effort must be made to identify all women of childbearing age exposed
to a person with confirmed, probable, or suspected rubella. Women found to
be susceptible and not pregnant should be vaccinated as outlined previously
(see All Women of Childbearing Age). Susceptible household contacts of
pregnant women should also be vaccinated.

All exposed pregnant women should be screened to determine if they a) were
infected during pregnancy, b) are susceptible, or c) were immune before
pregnancy. Because of the seriousness of CRI, immunity must be documented by
a verified, dated record of a positive serologic test. Pregnant women
without documented immunity should be tested for the presence of rubella IgG
and IgM antibodies as outlined in this section. Identifying susceptible
pregnant women is critical, so they can be isolated from further exposure,
monitored for infection, and vaccinated postpartum. Pregnant women with
evidence of infection during pregnancy should be evaluated to verify rubella
infection and determine gestational age at time of infection, if possible,
to assess the possibility of risk to the fetus.

Immunoglobulin (IG) does not prevent rubella or mumps infection after
exposure and is not recommended for that purpose
(*18<http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00053391.htm>
*). Administration of IG after exposure to rubella will not prevent
infection or viremia, but might modify or suppress symptoms and create an
unwarranted sense of security. Therefore, IG is not recommended for routine
postexposure prophylaxis of rubella in early pregnancy or any other
circumstance. Infants with congenital rubella have been born to women who
received IG shortly after exposure. Administration of IG should be
considered only if a pregnant woman who has been exposed to rubella will not
consider termination of pregnancy under any circumstances. In such cases,
intramuscular administration of 20 mL of IG within 72 hours of rubella
exposure might reduce --- but will not eliminate --- the risk for rubella.

During an outbreak, the following steps should be taken to evaluate and
follow up with pregnant women who had contact with a person with confirmed,
probable, or suspected rubella:

   - Use documented serologic test results to verify immunity. If
   unavailable, conduct rubella IgG and IgM antibody testing regardless of
   symptom history. Pregnant women who are exposed to rubella and who do not
   have documented proof of immunity should be tested for rubella-specific IgM
   antibodies to identify recent infection. Because 20%--50% of rubella cases
   are asymptomatic, this testing policy is crucial to assess the possibility
   of risk to the fetus. Another way to identify recent infection is to detect
   a significant rise in paired IgG serum. A single positive IgG test indicates
   rubella immunity, but does not give information regarding the timing of the
   infection. However, a significant rise in IgG antibody (determined by
   testing paired sera) or positive IgM antibody test indicates recent
   infection.
   - Recommend restricting activities to avoid exposure while waiting for
   serologic test results. During this time, pregnant women should be excluded
   from activities (e.g., work or school) that present the possibility of
   exposure to persons with confirmed or suspected cases of rubella. Pregnant
   women found to be susceptible to rubella should avoid these settings for 6
   weeks (two incubation periods) after the onset of symptoms of rubella in the
   last patient for whom rubella cannot be ruled out.
   - Evaluate exposed pregnant women with positive IgG titers and negative
   IgM to determine if they acquired immunity before pregnancy or infection
   during pregnancy. Women without previously documented immunity who were
   exposed during pregnancy and >6 weeks before IgM testing could test negative
   for IgM antibodies, which are normally not detectable >6 weeks after
   infection. Thus, a negative rubella IgM antibody assay does not rule out
   infection during pregnancy. The dates of the pregnancy, possible exposures,
   test(s), and history of rash illness should be considered in assessing the
   possibility of risk to the fetus.
   - Evaluate pregnant women with confirmed rubella to assess risk to the
   fetus. Rubella infection during the first 3 months of pregnancy is
   associated with the greatest risk for CRI, and up to 90% of infants born to
   mothers infected during the first 11 weeks of gestation will develop CRS.
   Infection late in the first half of pregnancy is more likely to result in
   hearing impairment and less likely to be associated with other defects.
   Although not likely to result in CRS, rubella infection late in pregnancy
   can result in congenital rubella infection only.
   - Pregnant women with negative IgG and negative IgM on first testing
   should be retested in 10--14 days; the first specimen should be reanalyzed
   along with the second specimen. A significant rise in IgG or positive IgM
   indicates recent infection. If a susceptible pregnant woman continues to be
   directly exposed to rubella, repeat tests of paired sera in 10--14 days to
   determine if infection occurs, then every 3--4 weeks if exposure continues.
   Testing can be performed earlier if pregnancy outcome might be influenced.
   Evaluate the infant on delivery for signs of CRS, and vaccinate the mother
   postpartum.
   - Recommend restricting activities for susceptible women (i.e., those
   without detectable IgG and IgM antibodies), obtain follow-up serologic
   testing, and vaccinate after delivery. Susceptible pregnant women should be
   excluded from activities (e.g., work or school) that present the possibility
   of exposure to persons with confirmed or suspected cases of rubella.
   Pregnant women found to be susceptible should avoid these settings for 6
   weeks (two incubation periods) after the onset of symptoms of rubella in the
   last patient for whom rubella cannot be ruled out. Household contacts or
   other ongoing contacts without documented rubella immunity should be
   vaccinated.
   - Evaluate asymptomatic, exposed pregnant women with documented history
   of previous rubella immunity. Rubella reinfection is rare but has been
   documented (*19--22*). Women with documentation of previous rubella
   immunity who are exposed to rubella during pregnancy should consult their
   physicians. After discussing the potential for reinfection, physicians might
   recommend acute- and convalescent-phase IgG antibody testing or an IgM
   antibody test to document whether reinfection has occurred. However, the
   potential for false-positive IgM tests exists, and the potential risks and
   benefits of testing should be considered.
   - Counsel pregnant women with documentation of previous immunity to seek
   medical attention promptly if rubella-like symptoms appear. Any pregnant
   woman with documented immunity and rubella-like symptoms should be
   immediately evaluated by a physician to diagnose the symptoms and ensure the
   health of the mother and fetus.
