Mumps IgG antibody test

Measles, also called rubeola, is a virus that infects cells in the lungs and the back of the throat. It is an extremely contagious viral infection that is easily spread through coughing and sneezing or touching a surface contaminated with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. 

According to the CDC, the measles virus can live for up to two hours in the air where an infected person coughed or sneezed. Infected individuals are contagious for a couple of days before the symptoms appear.

What is mumps?

Mumps are usually gained during childhood, triggered by the mumps virus. It is contagious and spreads through saliva or by being with a person who has it. It can infect many parts of the body, especially the parotid salivary glands, which are found near the jaw line below the ears. When a person gets infected with mumps, these glands typically have inflammation and become very painful.

There is no found treatment for mumps so far. The only way to prevent it is by administrating the MMRV (measles-mumps-rubella plus varicella (chicken-pox)) vaccine during childhood, which would give immunity to the disease.
