Overview of CSF - Measles (Rubeola)- IgG Antibodies, by EIA in Pathanamthitta
What is the CSF Measles (Rubeola) IgG Antibodies Test, and why is it needed?
In order to determine measles-related neurological problems such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), this test detects IgG antibodies against the measles (rubeola) virus in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Those who experience neurological symptoms following a measles infection, such as seizures, cognitive deterioration, or behavioural problems, are advised to take it.
How is the test performed?
CSF is obtained by lumbar puncture (spinal tap), and IgG antibody levels are then assessed.
Can this test confirm an active measles infection?
No, this test does not confirm an active infection, but it detects past exposure or persistent immune response.
What do positive results indicate?
A positive result indicates either a prior measles infection or SSPE. This might require an immediate medical examination and treatment.
