Understanding Mumps Virus Antibody IgG in Kolkata

What is Mumps Virus Antibody IgG in Kolkata?

The Mumps Virus Antibody IgG test measures the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the mumps virus in the blood. This test is vital for determining an individual's immunity to mumps, whether from prior infection or vaccination. It is available in Kolkata with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

You may need this test if your doctor suspects mumps symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, exhaustion, headache, loss of appetite, and swollen jaw (parotitis), particularly if you are unvaccinated, or those who have been in close contact with an infected person. Also, it may be used to rule out mumps in cases of suspected meningitis (inflammation of the brain's lining), or a salivary gland infection. It is particularly important for pregnant women, healthcare workers, and individuals traveling to areas with known mumps outbreaks.

No special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.

What does Mumps Virus Antibody IgG measure?

The Mumps Virus Antibody IgG test measures the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to the mumps virus in the blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to either a past infection or vaccination. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates that the body has encountered the mumps virus, providing immunity against future infections. This test is essential for determining an individual's immunity status, especially for those at higher risk of exposure, such as healthcare workers and pregnant women.
