Measles

Measles, also known as rubeola, is a highly contagious viral infection that occurs primarily in children. Measles infection causes fever, irritability, cough, respiratory illness, pink eye (conjunctivitis) and tiny white spots inside the mouth (Koplik spots) followed by the appearance of a characteristic flat, red rash. The rash usually starts on the face and spreads all over the body.

Mumps

Mumps is a highly contagious, viral infection that typically begins with a high fever and flu-like symptoms (headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and loss of appetite). The mumps virus may cause inflamed salivary glands, puffy cheeks, and a tender, swollen jaw. However, some people with mumps infection may appear without symptoms.

Rubella

Rubella, also known as German measles, is a contagious, viral infection. It may appear mild with a fever, swollen glands, aching joints (especially in young women), or more severely with joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, and a distinctive red rash on the face that spreads downward to the rest of the body. Some people with a rubella infection may appear without symptoms. In pregnant women, rubella can cause a miscarriage and birth defects.

Cough
Runny nose
Body aches

FAQs

How do measles, mumps, and rubella spread?

These viruses are spread via direct contact with or droplets shed from respiratory secretions, saliva, or mucus from the throat, mouth, or nose of infected individuals. They are easily transmitted from person to person through coughing or sneezing.

What do I do if the results show that I do not have immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella?

If your test results detect antibodies below a certain level, it may indicate that you are at an increased risk for infection if you are exposed to someone with measles, mumps, or rubella. You should share your results with your healthcare provider, who can help you decide on next steps for care.

Can I be infected with measles, mumps, or rubella if the results show immunity?

People who receive the recommended dose of the MMR vaccine are usually considered protected for life against measles and rubella. However, a small number of people may still become infected if they are exposed to the viruses that cause these diseases.

Do I or my child need a booster shot or another vaccination?

If your test results do not show evidence of immunity against measles, mumps, or rubella, or if you have not received the 2 recommended doses of MMR vaccine, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine if additional boosters may be beneficial.
