MEASLES ANTIBODY, IgG

The test can find out whether you are immune to the 3 diseases. All 3 are quite contagious. If you’ve had them or been vaccinated against them, your immune system made antibodies to fight the viruses that cause them.

If you are planning to become pregnant, it’s important to know whether you have these antibodies. If a woman develops rubella during the first 3 months of her pregnancy, it could cause birth defects.

Measles is also called rubeola, and rubella is also called German measles or 3-day measles.
