Order TestUse
The presence of IgM antibody to mumps virus typically indicates a recent or current mumps infection; however, false positive results may occur due to antibody cross-reactivity, for example with parainfluenza virus. Titer interpretation: less than 1:20 indicates antibody not detected, whereas 1:20 or greater indicates antibody detected.
