Thanks so much for your answers. The lab which processed the results was Cedars Sinai hospital in los angeles. I did call them, but they said i would have to come in for an appointment to have the results read to me and explained if i had questions-UGH! also is 1:128 the same thing as 1.128? The print out does not have a key. Also refering to Kcohrane's response: those values provided were for rubella, correct? Can i assume that they will not be the value's for mumps? Thanks kcochraneRe: Question about the Mumps Titer Normal values: Titer* of less than 1:8 or 1:10 (depending on the test) indicates susceptibility to rubella. Titer* of greater than 1:10 indicates adequate protection against rubella. What HIGH or INCREASED titers may indicate: Active rubella infection range--1:8 to 1:16. Convalescent blood titer*--1:64 to 1:1,024 or more. A 4-fold rise or more from acute to convalescent means recent rubella infection. In an infant 6 months or older, a titer* of 1:8 confirms congenital rubella*.

Hello, I just joined this site, so hopefully I am posting correctly. Anyways, I am a new nursing student starting in February and I had to get some titers done for my school. Well, I so happened to also be volunteering at Cedars Sinai hospital and just got my Titer records from them. I showed them to the nurse practitioner to have her sign off on my health form and she didn't know what the results from my Mumps titer were. I had the MMR vaccine as a child and my Rubella, varicella, and rubella titers were all "immune" my Mumps titer read 1:128. Does anyone know if this value is immune or not, or how to interpret this? Thanks so much! PLEASE HELP!
