Mumps Virus Antibodies Panel: Your Complete Immunity Check
Feeling uncertain about your mumps protection? Whether you’ve been exposed, are planning important life events, or simply want peace of mind about your immunity status, our comprehensive antibody panel provides the answers you need. Mumps can cause serious complications, and knowing your immune status is the first step toward protecting your health and those around you.
Understanding Your Mumps Immunity Status
This test measures two crucial types of antibodies in your blood:
- IgM Antibodies: Indicate recent or current mumps infection – your body’s immediate response to the virus
- IgG Antibodies: Show long-term immunity from past infection or successful vaccination
By testing both, we provide a complete picture of your mumps protection status, helping you understand whether you need vaccination boosters or have natural immunity.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Swollen salivary glands or jaw pain
- Recent exposure to someone with mumps
- Planning pregnancy or are pregnant
- Working in healthcare, education, or crowded environments
- Uncertain vaccination history
- Fever, headache, or muscle aches with swelling
- Traveling to areas with mumps outbreaks
Early detection can prevent complications and help protect vulnerable family members.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting tested provides multiple health benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Know your immunity status with certainty
- Prevention: Identify if you need vaccination to prevent future infection
- Early Intervention: Detect current infections before complications develop
- Family Protection: Prevent spreading mumps to children or elderly relatives
- Informed Decisions: Make confident choices about work, travel, and social activities
Mumps can lead to serious complications like orchitis, meningitis, and hearing loss – early detection helps prevent these outcomes.
Understanding Your Results
We make your results easy to understand:
- IgM Positive + IgG Negative: Likely current or recent infection – consult your doctor immediately
- IgG Positive + IgM Negative: Protected from past infection or vaccination – good immunity
- Both Negative: No current infection and no immunity – vaccination recommended

Our healthcare professionals will explain your results clearly and provide guidance on next steps.
