The lab test ordered for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) titer is typically a serology test that measures the levels of specific antibodies against each of these viruses in the blood. This test helps determine if a person is immune to these diseases, either from prior infection or vaccination. A positive titer indicates immunity, while a negative titer may suggest the need for vaccination.

What does a MMR titer of 394 mean?
There is no "MMR" titer, but you can get three individual results for measles, mumps, and rubella titers. Contact your health care provider to find out which result was "394."
What is other tests you take other than ppd for cna?
Typically the PPD, and titers for rubella, measles, and mumps. Sometimes titer for varicella, and sometimes hepatitis B. Sometimes a drug test.
Is there a test to find out if a person has had measles chickenpox or German measles?
Yes, you can get a blood test to check your titer (immunity level) for measles, chickenpox, and rubella (German measles).
What is normal rubella titer?
1.10
What is a measles titer called?
A measles titer is commonly referred to as a "measles antibody titer" or simply "measles titer." It measures the level of antibodies against the measles virus in the blood, indicating whether an individual has immunity to the disease, either from vaccination or past infection. This test is often used to assess immunity before vaccination or in specific medical situations.
What is the mmr titer icd 9 code?
The ICD-9 code for the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) titer is V05.3. This code is used to indicate a laboratory test to confirm immunity to these diseases. However, it's important to note that ICD-9 codes have been largely replaced by ICD-10 codes, so for more current coding, one would typically reference the ICD-10 system.
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 often should you have varicella and rubella titer done?
Typically, a rubella titer is done before the first pregnancy. Chickenpox titer may be done at this time, also. Sometimes these tests are required before getting certain types of work. It is not necessary to get these tests repeated; once is enough.
What does a low IgG anti mumps titer mean?
A low IgG anti-mumps titer indicates insufficient levels of antibodies against the mumps virus in the blood, suggesting that the individual may not have immunity to mumps. This could be due to a lack of vaccination or previous infection. It may also imply that the person is at higher risk for mumps infection, and vaccination may be recommended to boost immunity.
What level of measles titer are negative?
A measles titer is considered negative if the antibody level is below 120 mIU/mL. This indicates that the individual is not immune to measles and may require vaccination or further evaluation. Generally, a titer level of 120 mIU/mL or higher is considered positive, indicating immunity. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
What is the normal mumps titer value?
In order to show positive immunity your blood level must reach a level of 1.10 If it's 90 then you have no immunity and should be vaccinated. If you are between say 1.00 to 1.09 then you some immunity but should have a booster of either measles (mmr) or varicella.
What is blood titer?
blood titre is found by doing a blood test for immunity. the titre shows the level of immunity against something (i.e. Rubella)
