Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test

The Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood, which indicates a recent or current infection with the measles virus. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that can cause serious complications, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and even death. The Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test can help diagnose a current measles infection, especially when symptoms such as fever, rash, cough, and runny nose are present.

At healthcare nt sickcare, we offer the Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test at our in-house laboratory or at an external NABL certified lab. Our team of experienced medical professionals and state-of-the-art technology ensure accurate and reliable results.

The Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test works by detecting the presence of IgM antibodies, which are produced by the body's immune system in response to a recent or current measles' infection. The test involves a simple blood draw, and the results are typically available within a few days.

It is important to note that the presence of IgM antibodies does not necessarily indicate a current measles' infection, as these antibodies may persist in the blood for several months after the infection has resolved. Therefore, the Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test should always be interpreted in the context of other clinical and laboratory findings.

If you have symptoms suggestive of a measles' infection, or if you have been in close contact with someone who has a confirmed measles' infection, your healthcare provider may recommend the Measles (Rubeola) IgM Test. Early diagnosis and treatment of measles can help prevent serious complications and limit the spread of the virus to others.
