The Mumps IgG test is a valuable diagnostic tool that can provide insights into your immunity. Mumps is a highly contagious viral infection that primarily affects the salivary glands leading to painful swelling and potential health complications. It can also cause inflammation in other parts of the body such as the brain, pancreas, and testicles. Common symptoms of Mumps may include:

  • Swelling and tenderness of the salivary glands (parotitis)
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Muscle aches
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite


The Mumps IgG test is a blood test that measures the level of antibodies called immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the bloodstream. These antibodies play a crucial role in fighting off the Mumps virus, and their presence indicates whether an individual has been previously exposed to the virus or has developed immunity.

Determining the immunity levels against Mumps is vital for several reasons. Firstly, it helps in diagnosing past infections, especially if the individual never exhibited any symptoms. Secondly, it assists in evaluating the effectiveness of vaccines, as Mumps vaccination typically leads to the production of IgG antibodies. Lastly, it helps identify individuals who are at risk of Mumps infection and can aid in implementing preventive measures.

The Mumps IgG test is recommended for various individuals, including those who

  • have never been vaccinated against Mumps
  • are at high risk of exposure (such as healthcare workers), and
  • show symptoms suggestive of Mumps infection


It is also advisable for individuals planning to travel to regions with a higher prevalence of Mumps. The benefits of getting this test done can be summed up into:

  • Confirmation of immunity to the Mumps virus
  • Early detection of past exposure to the virus
  • Ability to take preventive measures to avoid spreading the virus
  • Peace of mind knowing you are not currently infected
  • Contribution to public health monitoring and prevention efforts


The Mumps IgG test is a very simple blood test. A healthcare professional from Apollo 24|7 will collect a small blood sample from your arm using a needle. The sample will then be sent to the laboratory for analysis. The results are usually available within 72 hours.

The Mumps IgG test results are typically reported as quantitative values or as positive/negative findings. A positive result indicates the presence of IgG antibodies, suggesting past exposure or vaccination against Mumps. Negative results may indicate a lack of immunity, though it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper interpretation.

The Mumps IgG test price can vary depending on various factors, including the geographical location, and healthcare provider. The Apollo 24|7 Mumps IgG test is always priced reasonably. However, it is always recommended to check specifically for precise pricing details and discounts.

Preparing for the Apollo 24|7 Mumps IgG test is relatively simple. It does not require any specific fasting or dietary restrictions. However, it is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are currently taking, as they may influence the test results.

In conclusion, Mumps is a viral infection that typically resolves within two weeks. The Mumps IgG test plays a pivotal role in diagnosing Mumps, determining immunity levels, and evaluating vaccine efficacy. If you suspect that you have Mumps infection or want to assess your immunity, visit the Apollo 24|7 website to book an appointment.
