A screen for current and previous measles infections, with both IgG and IgM markers measured.
This test screens for current measles infection and past infections/vaccinations. It measures both Measles IgM (indicating a current infection) and Measles IgG (indicating previous infection or vaccination). For travel (e.g., to the USA) and healthcare purposes, both biomarkers are required. The turnaround time for this test is approximately 5 working days.
