Negative Measles IgG (measles immunity) result: what it means
A Measles IgG (measles immunity) test is reported as positive or negative rather than as a number. Here is what a negative result means, and what it does not rule out.
Reference range: reported as positive/negative or an index; a positive (reactive) IgG indicates immunity to measles from past infection or vaccination — a negative result means non-immune

What a negative Measles IgG (measles immunity) result means
- Not immune (negative) — no confirmed protection; vaccination is usually offered.
- An equivocal result — immunity is uncertain; may be repeated or vaccination offered.
- Waned immunity — uncommon, but antibody can fall in some people.
When to discuss with a doctor
Measles IgG is checked to confirm immunity — for example before or during healthcare or laboratory employment, at university entry, when planning a pregnancy, or for a person with a weakened immune system or a traveller. A positive result is reassuring: you are protected. A negative or equivocal result means immunity is not confirmed, and the MMR vaccine is usually recommended for those who can safely have it, guided by your doctor (it is a live vaccine, so it is avoided in pregnancy and in some immune conditions). If you have symptoms of possible active measles — fever, cough, runny nose, sore eyes and a spreading rash — that is a different, urgent situation needing prompt medical assessment, not an immunity check. Mediora.AI shows measles IgG alongside other immunity markers so your vaccination status is read together; decisions about vaccination belong with your doctor.
