Simple blood test to check for measles immunity.

Additional Information

Measles vaccination has drastically reduced the incidence of measles in Australia, but the World Health Organisation still lists measles as a leading cause of death in young children. However, in more recent years measles has staged a comeback due to less comprehensive vaccination coverage in Australia. This simple blood test checks for measles immunity. Measles antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to a measles infection or in response to vaccination.

Biomarkers Tested (2)

Measles IgM antibodies (AU/mL)
The first type of measles antibodies to appear in the blood after exposure or vaccination. Levels of IgM antibodies increase for several days and then taper off.
