What is the normal mumps serology?

Answer 1

Normal mumps serology typically shows the absence of mumps-specific IgM antibodies, indicating no recent infection, and the presence of IgG antibodies, suggesting past infection or vaccination. In vaccinated individuals, IgG may be detectable, while IgM is usually absent unless there is a current infection. A positive IgM result may indicate an acute mumps infection. Serological testing is often used in conjunction with clinical evaluation to confirm or rule out mumps.
