Rubeola Antibodies, IgG Blood Test

Use:

This test is used to determine if you have sufficient rubeola (measles) antibodies to protect you from the rubeola virus;to verify a past infection or detect a recent infection.

We measure the presence of rubeola antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are proteins that the body creates in response to an infection or exposure to a microorganism or other foreign substance. Rubeola antibodies are produced in response to an infection by the rubeola virus.

Signs and symptoms of measles develop 7-18 days after exposure and usually include one or more of the following:

• A characteristic rash that usually starts on the face and spreads down the body to the trunk and legs
• High fever
• Dry cough
• Red, watery, itchy eyes
• Sensitivity to light
• A runny nose
• Sore throat
• Tiny white spots inside the mouth

Recommended For:

Those who wish to determine measles immunity; Those who are surrounded by an outbreak of measles; Those experiencing symptoms of measles as outlined above.
