Measles Antibodies (IgG) – Immunity
The Measles IgG Antibody test assesses immunity to measles by detecting IgG antibodies in the blood. IgG antibodies usually develop following vaccination or past infection and typically provide long-term protection. This test is commonly used to confirm immunity in healthcare workers, travellers, or individuals unsure of their vaccination status. Confirming immunity is important because measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications. Results are interpreted in the context of vaccination history and clinical risk.
