MUMPS ANTIBODY – IGG

The mumps antibody (IgG) test detects IgG antibodies against the mumps virus, indicating past infection or vaccination. A positive mumps 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 mumps infection, guiding public health measures, and ensuring appropriate medical management to prevent outbreaks. It provides important information for managing mumps immunity and preventing complications associated with mumps infection.
