Rubella (German Measels) Virus - IgG test

This test is done to diagnose measles.

Symptoms include: 

cough

fever

red eyes

light sensitivity

muscle aches

runny nose

sore throat

white spots inside the mouth

A widespread skin rash is a classic sign of measles. 

Patients who become sicker may be developing medical complications. Some people will develop pneumonia as a consequence of infection with the measles virus. Other complications include ear infections, bronchitis (either viral bronchitis or secondary bacterial bronchitis), and brain inflammation. Brain inflammation from measles has a mortality rate of 15%. While there is no specific treatment for brain inflammation from measles, antibiotics are required for bacterial pneumonia, sinusitis, and bronchitis that can follow measles. 

All other treatment addresses symptoms, with ibuprofen or paracetamol to reduce fever and pain and, if required, a fast-acting medication to dilate the airways for cough. As for aspirin, some research has suggested a correlation between children who take aspirin and the development of Reye syndrome. Some research has shown aspirin may not be the only medication associated with Reye, and even antiemetics have been implicated. The link between aspirin use in children and Reye syndrome development is weak at best, if not actually nonexistent. Nevertheless, most health authorities still caution against the use of aspirin for any fevers in children under. 

Immunizations can help prevent a measles outbreak. The MMR vaccine is a three-in-one vaccination that can protect you and your children from the measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). Children can receive their first MMR vaccination at 12 months, or sooner if traveling internationally, and their second dose between the ages of 4 and 6. Adults who have never received an immunization can request the vaccine from their doctor. If you or a family member contracts the measles virus, limit interaction with others. This includes staying home from school or work and avoiding social activities.

There is no prescription medication to treat measles. The virus and symptoms typically disappear within two to three weeks. However, your doctor may recommend: 

acetaminophen to relieve fever and muscle aches

rest to help boost your immune system

plenty of fluids (six to eight glasses of water a day)

humidifier to ease a cough and sore throat

vitamin A supplements

Test Method 1 : Your doctor can confirm measles by examining your skin rash and checking for symptoms that are characteristic of the disease, such as white spots in the mouth, fever, cough, and sore throat. 

If they are unable to confirm a diagnosis based on observation, your doctor may order a blood test to check for the measles virus. 

Report available : Turn around time is 24 hours.
