4 hours ago A patient identification number and/or name as well as the patient date of birth should be entered on the form. Serum specimens for measles serologic testing (IgG, IgM) are delivered by courier to the STATT (Specimen Triage and Tracking Team) laboratory at CDC. Specimens are then delivered to the VVPDB measles lab (Unit #81). >> Go To The Portal
< or = 0.90 Negative 0.91-1.09 Equivocal > or = 1.10 Positive A positive result indicates that the patient has antibody to mumps virus. It does not differentiate between an active or past infection. The clinical diagnosis must be interpreted in conjunction with the clinical signs and symptoms of the patient.
Description. The MMR Titer is a blood test that checks if you are immune to Measles, Mumps and Rubella. It measures your antibody levels to get a sense for whether your immune system has the capability to respond to an infection with one of these diseases.
Confirm your immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella with a simple blood test. Individuals that have received the MMR vaccine can confirm and prove immunity to these diseases with our immunity screening. Best of all, no doctor's order or insurance is required to order your test.
A positive MMR titer means that you are considered immune and do not need to be revaccinated.
Positive: A positive rubella IgG test result is good—it means that you are immune to rubella and cannot get the infection. This is the most common rubella test done. Negative: This means you are not immune to rubella.
The combined anti-rubella IgG and IgM test is sometimes used to detect a current or very recent infection. Negative IgG results accompanied by positive IgM results allow for rapid diagnosis of infection, but they must be confirmed by the appearance (or significant increase) of IgG levels one to three weeks later.
Reference Range: 7 IU/mL or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable rubella IgG antibody. 8-9 IU/mL: Equivocal - Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful. 10 IU/mL or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to rubella detected, which may indicate a current or previous exposure/immunization to rubella.
What tests are available for laboratory confirmation of measles? A capture IgM EIA (non-quantitative) that incorporates a recombinant measles virus nucleocapsid protein as the antigen is used to detect measles IgM. A commercial, indirect EIA (non-quantitative) assay is used for detection of IgG.
A new titer should be drawn 3-4 weeks after this booster. If MMR has been given, the recommendation is to wait 4-6 weeks before giving a routine TB PPD skin test.
The USDA considers a titer of ≥1:4 to be positive. A result of <1:2 is equivalent to a negative @ 1:4 or 1:8 result. A titer of >1:128 may indicate recent infection. A titer of ≥1:320 may indicate recent infection.
If your titer results do not show evidence of immunity, you will still be required to get any outstanding doses of the vaccine(s) as indicated above. NOTE: when reporting your titer results, remember that "positive" means "positive for immunity" and "negative" means "negative for immunity."
Infants who get one dose of MMR vaccine before their first birthday should get two more doses according to the routinely recommended schedule (first dose should be given at 12 through 15 months of age and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age.
Understanding the test results That means that you have adequate immunity to a particular infectious disease. If titer results are negative, which means there is no immunity to a specific disease, your school or work may require you to get a vaccination.

The CDC says adults at greater risk of measles or mumps should get two doses of MMR vaccine, the second one 4 weeks after the first. This includes adults who: Have been exposed to measles or mumps or live in an area where an outbreak has happened.
