The Mayo Clinic Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Antibody (MMRV) test is a blood test that measures the levels of antibodies against four different viruses: measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). The test can determine whether a person has been exposed to these viruses and whether they have developed immunity to them. It is often used to determine the need for vaccination or to confirm immunity prior to travel or during pregnancy. The test is typically performed using a blood sample and is considered a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool. Results can guide further diagnostic testing and treatment decisions.
