The Mumps Antibodies (IgG) test detects IgG antibodies to the mumps virus, indicating past infection or immunity from vaccination. A positive IgG result generally means the individual has protective immunity against mumps.
This test is commonly used to confirm immunity for school or employment requirements, healthcare clearance, travel, or prenatal evaluation. It does not diagnose an active mumps infection, which is typically assessed using IgM testing or molecular methods when symptoms are present.
