Measles (Rubeola) Antibody IgG, Serum Test Overview

What is the MEASLES (RUBEOLA) ANTIBODY IGG, SERUM Test?

The Measles (Rubeola) Antibody IgG, Serum Test measures the presence of IgG antibodies against the measles virus in your blood. These antibodies indicate immunity, either from a past infection or from vaccination. Understanding your immunity status is important because measles is a highly contagious viral disease that can lead to serious complications, especially in children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals.

A positive IgG result suggests that your body has developed protective immunity, whereas a negative result may indicate susceptibility, prompting vaccination or booster doses. This test is particularly useful for adults who are unsure of their vaccination history, healthcare workers, or individuals planning to travel to areas where measles is prevalent. Early identification of susceptibility helps prevent infection and ensures timely vaccination to protect both personal and community health.
