Measles Test


FAQ

What is the primary diagnostic test for measles?

The primary diagnostic test for measles is the detection of measles-specific IgM antibodies in blood. This test helps confirm recent infection and is often supplemented by clinical symptoms and history of exposure for a conclusive diagnosis.

Can a blood test detect measles?

Yes, a blood test can detect measles by detecting the presence of measles-specific antibodies, such as IgM and IgG, in the blood. These antibodies indicate either a current infection or past exposure to the measles virus, aiding in the diagnosis of measles.

Is the IgG antibody test reliable for confirming measles immunity?

Yes, the IgG antibody test is reliable for confirming measles immunity. It detects the presence of specific antibodies (IgG) that develop after vaccination or previous infection. High levels of measles-specific IgG antibodies indicate immunity to measles. This test is commonly used to assess immune status and confirm immunity in individuals.
