Interpretation
Positive:
Results suggest recent infection or vaccination. False positive results may occur in patients with recent parvovirus B19, cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Equivocal:
Recommend follow-up testing in 10 to14 days if clinically indicated.
Negative:
Absence of IgM-class antibodies to mumps virus suggests lack of acute phase infection with mumps virus. However, serology may be negative in early disease, and results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings.
