MEASLES ANTIBODY – IGG

The measles antibody (IgG) test detects IgG antibodies against the measles virus, indicating past infection or vaccination. A positive measles IgG test suggests immunity to the virus, either from previous exposure or immunization. This test is used to assess immune status, confirm immunity, and guide vaccination decisions. The test is valuable for determining an individual’s risk of measles infection, guiding public health measures, and ensuring appropriate medical management to prevent outbreaks. It provides important information for managing measles immunity and preventing complications associated with measles infection.
