MEASLES SCREEN AND IMMUNITY BLOOD TEST OVERVIEW

The measles blood test is used to detect antibodies against the measles virus, helping determine whether you are currently infected, have had a past infection, or have developed immunity through vaccination. This test typically looks for measles-specific IgM and IgG antibodies in the blood.

DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

DR. ADAM STATEN - GP VIEW AND RED FLAG SYMPTOMS

From a GP’s perspective, the measles blood test is a simple but valuable tool to check whether you’re immune to measles or if you may have a current infection. I might recommend this test if you’re unsure about your vaccination history, particularly before starting a job in healthcare, travelling abroad, or planning a pregnancy, all situations where proof of immunity is important.

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 Screen and Immunity Blood Test.

What’s the difference between IgM and IgG in a measles test?

IgM antibodies usually appear soon after infection and indicate a recent or active measles infection, while IgG antibodies suggest long-term immunity due to past infection or vaccination. Most routine immunity checks focus on IgG levels.

Do I still need the test if I’ve had the MMR vaccine?

If you’ve had two documented doses of the MMR vaccine, you're usually considered protected and don’t need testing. However, if you're unsure about your vaccination history or need formal proof of immunity (for work, travel, or school), a blood test can confirm whether you're covered.

Can I have immunity without ever having symptoms?

Yes. If you were vaccinated or had a very mild measles infection, you may never have experienced noticeable symptoms, but your body could still have developed protective antibodies. The blood test can confirm whether you’re immune even if you don’t remember being ill or vaccinated.

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 SCREEN AND IMMUNITY BLOOD TEST?

    The measles blood test is important because it helps determine whether you have immunity against measles, either through previous infection or vaccination. Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, brain inflammation (encephalitis), and even death, particularly in young children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

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 SCREEN AND IMMUNITY BLOOD TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

WHY ARE BLOOD TESTS IMPORTANT?
