What is this test?
A measles titer test is a blood test used to determine if you have immunity to measles. Measles, also known as rubella, is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause serious complications.
Who is this test for?
This test is often recommended for:
- Individuals who are unsure if they have been vaccinated against measles.
- Healthcare workers who interact with children or immunocompromised individuals.
- People planning to travel to countries with high measles prevalence.
- Individuals with a weakened immune system who may be at higher risk for complications.
Outcome of the test:
The results of a measles titer test are usually expressed as a titer level. A high titer level indicates immunity to measles, while a low titer level suggests that you may be susceptible to the virus.
Preparation before taking the test:
There is typically no special preparation required for a measles titer test. However, it’s always a good idea to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
Note: If you have a history of measles, a titer test may not be necessary as you are likely immune. However, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
