Measles Test in Ridgecrest, California

Same day and Affordable Measles Test, Locations Nationwide

Think you or someone you know has the measles? Request A Test offers the convenient and affordable Measles Test in Ridgecrest, CA. This test measures IgM antibodies to Rubeola, more commonly known as Measles. Rubeola is a highly contagious virus that is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets from an infected person. Most people in the United States are vaccinated against measles as children. In most cases, these vaccines provide lifelong immunity but it may sometimes be necessary to receive another vaccination as an adult. Modern vaccination procedures have significantly reduced the prevalence of measles in the US but infections and occasional outbreaks do still occur. After infection, most people will begin to develop symptoms after 10-14 days. Common symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, white spots inside the mouth, and a red spotty rash that begins on the face and spreads down the body. IgM antibodies typically begin to develop shortly after a person's initial symptoms appear and reach detectable levels after 3-7 days. After a few weeks, IgM antibodies begin to decrease and IgG antibodies develop. IgM testing is usually ordered when a person experiences symptoms of measles infection, especially if they have never been vaccinated. This test is not appropriate for determining a person's immune status for Rubeola. For an immunity titer test, please see our Rubeola IgG Antibody Test.
