Seropositivity rates for measles, mumps, and rubella IgG and costs associated with testing and revaccination.

چکیده
Retrospective analysis of IgG test results and patterns for measles, mumps, and rubella revealed generally high seropositivity rates, with that of mumps being the lowest. A simplified cost analysis shows that when there is a suspicion of nonimmunity, serological testing may be cheaper than vaccination.
