Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella

Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, are infectious diseases caused by invisible viruses. This danger makes it a commonplace for most schools and employers to request proof of immunity against these organisms as individuals can contact or transmit the illness. Hence, organizations protect their staff and workplace by making it a part of their requirement to get antibody titers for these viruses.

Antibody titers are determined by calculating the number of antibodies against specific microbes present in the individual’s blood. The process involves drawing some blood and carrying out a special count of the circulating antibodies that can fight the antigens on the surfaces of these viruses.

Based on the analysis, our Doctors at NY Best Medical will explain to you what the values got means. If you have a lower than average amount of circulating antibodies in your blood, it means your body cannot fight the infection if exposed, and as such, you may need to be vaccinated.

Also, it is possible to estimate latent carrier state or chronic infection based on the levels of your circulating antibodies, and other tests may also be required.
