Mumps Antibodies (IgG) – Immunity
The Mumps IgG Antibody test is used to determine whether an individual has immunity to the mumps virus. IgG antibodies typically develop following vaccination or previous infection and usually provide long-term protection.
Mumps is a contagious viral infection that primarily affects the salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands, causing facial swelling, pain, fever, and fatigue.
Although often mild, mumps can lead to complications such as orchitis, oophoritis, pancreatitis, hearing loss, and inflammation of the brain or meninges.
Confirming immunity is especially important for healthcare workers, students, travellers, and individuals planning pregnancy.
This test is also commonly requested when vaccination history is unclear or documentation is required.
