Mumps IgG (Immunity)

The Mumps IgG (Immunity) blood test is a diagnostic tool used to assess an individual's immunity to the mumps virus by detecting specific antibodies in the bloodstream. Mumps is a contagious viral infection characterised by swelling of the salivary glands, fever, headache, and muscle aches.

A positive result indicates the presence of these antibodies, suggesting immunity either through previous infection or vaccination. This test is valuable for evaluating immunity status, especially in populations at risk of mumps exposure, aiding in preventive measures and public health strategies.
