What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing fever, irritability, respiratory symptoms, or a skin rash that could point to measles. It's also useful if you're not sure whether you're immune to measles from a past vaccination or infection, such as before starting a new job, school, or travel. This test checks your blood for two types of antibodies that show either past immunity or a current infection.

What's included in this test?

This test measures two types of measles antibodies that tell different stories about your immune status. One type reflects long-term immunity from past vaccination or infection, while the other shows whether your body is currently fighting or has recently fought off the virus. Together, these results help clarify whether you're protected or possibly dealing with an active infection.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each antibody level explained alongside its normal range. If your IgG comes back positive, that generally means you have immunity and no further action is needed; if your IgM is positive, it may suggest a recent or current infection and you should limit contact with others and consider retesting since IgM can sometimes give false positives. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time. You can also track your antibody levels over time using the trends feature if you retest in the future.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for people who aren't sure if they're immune to measles, such as those without clear vaccination records, healthcare or childcare workers, and international travelers. It's also useful for anyone with symptoms like fever, rash, or respiratory issues who wants to check for a current infection. Parents and caregivers around young children who may have been exposed to measles can also benefit.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs that suggest you should check for measles include a high fever, cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes, and a red spotty rash that usually starts on the face and spreads down the body. Irritability and feeling generally unwell are also common. If you've had close contact with someone diagnosed with measles, even without symptoms yet, testing can help confirm your immunity status.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification once your results are posted to your secure online account. From there you can view, download, and track them anytime.

How can I naturally support my immune system?

While antibody levels themselves aren't something you can boost naturally overnight, supporting your overall immune health can help your body respond well to any infection. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, staying well hydrated, and getting consistent quality sleep all help your immune system function properly. Regular exercise and managing stress also play a role in keeping your immune defenses strong.

What does a positive IgM result mean?

A positive IgM result usually suggests you have a current or recent measles infection, typically within the past few weeks to months. However, IgM tests can sometimes show false positives, and low levels can linger for over a year after an actual infection, so a single positive result isn't always definitive. If you have symptoms along with a positive IgM, it's a good idea to limit contact with others and consider retesting to confirm the result.

What does a positive IgG result mean?

A positive IgG result means your body has built up long-term immunity to measles, either from a past infection or from vaccination. This is generally good news and means you're protected against future measles infections. No further action is typically needed if your IgG is positive and you have no active symptoms.

How often should I retest for measles antibodies?

If you test negative for IgG and have no documented vaccination history, you may want to get vaccinated and then retest later to confirm immunity was established. If you test positive for IgM, retesting after a couple of weeks can help confirm whether it was a true recent infection or a false positive. Otherwise, once you've confirmed IgG immunity, there's usually no need to retest unless a new exposure or health concern comes up.
