  Mumps Virus Antibody, IgG Less than or equal to 8.9 AU/mL

Interpretive Data

  The best evidence for current infection is a significant change on two appropriately timed specimens, where both tests are done in the same laboratory at the same time.


8.9 AU/mL or less Negative - No significant level of Mumps IgG antibody detected. This result is not consistent with vaccination (could indicate lack of immune response to vaccination) or exposure to Mumps.
9.0 - 10.9 AU/mL Equivocal - Repeat testing in 7-14 days may be helpful to demonstrate IgG seroconversion.
11.0 AU/mL or greater Positive - IgG antibody to Mumps detected. This result is consistent with vaccination or exposure to Mumps.
