Are varicella and rubella titers the same?
No, varicella and rubella titers are not the same; they measure immunity to different viruses. Varicella titers assess immunity to the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, while rubella titers evaluate immunity to the rubella virus, associated with German measles. Each titer is specific to its respective virus and is used to determine an individual's immune status or need for vaccination.
How long does rubella titer stay in the body?
Rubella titers, which indicate immunity to the rubella virus, can remain detectable in the body for many years after vaccination or infection. However, the exact duration can vary from person to person. Generally, after vaccination, immunity is considered to last for at least 10 to 20 years, but some individuals may retain protective titers for life. Regular testing may be recommended for certain populations, such as pregnant women or healthcare workers, to ensure continued immunity.

How often do you check titers?
The frequency of checking titers depends on the specific vaccine, the individual's health status, and local guidelines. Generally, titer levels for vaccines like measles, mumps, rubella, or hepatitis may be checked every 10 years or as needed, especially for healthcare workers or those in high-risk environments. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on individual circumstances.
What is the icd-9 code for mmr titers?
The ICD-9 code for MMR titers specifically is not directly listed, as ICD-9 primarily codes for diagnoses rather than laboratory tests. However, you might use V74.1 for "special screening for viral infections," which can include testing for measles, mumps, and rubella. It's important to check with updated coding resources or guidelines, as ICD-9 has been largely replaced by ICD-10.
Is there a blood test that can be taken to prove have had mmr vaccine Have lost immunization records?
Yes, you can get a blood test to demonstrate immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. Typically it's less expensive to be revaccinated, but if you're willing to pay the cost, you can get the titers (blood tests) instead.
