Immunity Screen (MRV)
Immunity Screen (MRV)
The Immunity Screen (MRV) Test is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess your immune protection against three common viral infections: measles, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). These infections can cause serious health complications, particularly in vulnerable groups such as young children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals. This screening test helps determine whether you have sufficient antibodies to protect you from these diseases, either through previous infection or vaccination.
Medical research from institutions such as the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and clinical guidelines from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) highlight the importance of confirming immunity, especially for healthcare workers, travellers, and those planning pregnancy. Identifying gaps in immunity allows for timely vaccination and prevention of outbreaks, safeguarding both individual and public health.
What Does It Test For?
The Immunity Screen (MRV) test measures the presence of specific antibodies against measles, rubella, and varicella-zoster virus in your blood. Antibodies are proteins produced by your immune system in response to infection or vaccination, providing protection against future exposure to these viruses. Detecting these antibodies confirms whether your immune system is prepared to fight off these infections.
Alongside the MRV panel, the test often includes assessment for Hepatitis B antibodies. Hepatitis B is a viral infection affecting the liver, with potential to cause chronic liver disease and liver cancer if left untreated. Testing for Hepatitis B antibodies helps determine if you have immunity from past infection or vaccination, or if you require further medical intervention. This combined screening provides a broad overview of your immune status against several significant viral diseases.
