The Mumps Titer Values: Immune or not??

Nurses General Nursing

Published

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!

Check with the lab where the bloodwork was done. They can give you the reference range. In fact, it should have been printed on the result slip.

Google it. I found some interesting info, seems there is no actual number.

I work as a school nurse - we can accept titers for MMR in lieu of a 2nd measles containing vaccine. i pulled a lab sheet and it says that anything = 1.10 would be a positive result for IgG antibodies to mumps.

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.
