MEASLES, MUMPS, RUBELLA IMMUNITY (MMR) BLOOD TEST OVERVIEW

The MMR blood test is used to detect antibodies against the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. These are three highly contagious viral infections that can lead to serious health complications, especially in children and pregnant women.

The test checks whether you are immune, either through past infection or vaccination, by measuring IgG antibodies specific to each of the three viruses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the Measles Mumps Rubella Immunity (MMR) Blood Test.

How long do measles antibodies last after vaccination or infection?

Measles antibodies typically provide long-lasting immunity. After receiving the MMR vaccine, most people develop lifelong immunity to measles. Similarly, individuals who have recovered from a measles infection usually have permanent immunity.

This enduring protection is due to the immune system's ability to remember the virus and mount a rapid response if exposed again in the future.

However, in rare cases, immunity may wane over time, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems, and booster vaccinations may be considered in specific situations to ensure continued protection.

Can mumps antibodies wane over time, and what are the implications?

Yes, mumps antibodies can wane over time. While the MMR vaccine provides effective protection against mumps, studies have shown that immunity can decrease several years after vaccination.

This waning immunity can lead to outbreaks, particularly in settings with close contact, such as schools or colleges. As a result, during outbreaks or in high-risk situations, health authorities may recommend a booster dose of the MMR vaccine to enhance immunity and control the spread of the virus.

Why is it especially important for women planning pregnancy to have rubella antibodies?

It is crucial for women of childbearing age to have rubella antibodies because rubella infection during pregnancy can lead to severe complications for the unborn baby.

Rubella can cause congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in the fetus, leading to serious birth defects. Ensuring immunity through vaccination or verifying the presence of rubella antibodies before pregnancy helps protect the health of both the mother and the baby, preventing potentially severe outcomes.

This is why rubella immunity is a key aspect of preconception and prenatal care.

WHY HAVE THE TEST?

Hi, I am Nader Eldarf, I am a Biomedical Scientist in our laboratory and here is why it's important to take this test.

  1. WHY HAVE THE MEASLES MUMPS RUBELLA IMMUNITY (MMR) BLOOD TEST?

    Many healthcare facilities require proof of immunity to protect patients and staff from potential outbreaks.

    Schools and universities often require MMR immunity to prevent the spread of these diseases in dense populations.

    Some countries require proof of immunity to enter, as measles, mumps, and rubella can be more prevalent in different parts of the world.

IS THIS TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

Hi, I am Sandeep Patel, I am the Laboratory Director at One Day Tests. Here are the symptoms that you may wish to address with this test.

  1. IS THE MEASLES MUMPS RUBELLA IMMUNITY (MMR) BLOOD TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?
