What tests should be done for mumps

What examinations should be done for mumps? There are many patients with mumps, and many family members do not have a particularly good understanding of its examination methods. Only by mastering the examination methods for mumps can you have a healthy body in life. What are the common methods for checking mumps? For this question, we asked relevant experts to make a detailed introduction, hoping to be helpful to patients.

⑴ Neutralizing antibody test: A low titer such as 1:2 indicates an active infection.

In recent years, the hemolysis-in-gel method has been used, which is basically consistent with the neutralization test and is simpler and faster than the detection of neutralizing antibodies, but the method still needs further improvement.

⑵Complement fixation test: It has auxiliary diagnostic value for suspected cases. If the titer of double serum (early stage and 2-3 weeks) increases by more than 4 times, or the titer of one serum reaches 1:64, it has diagnostic significance. If conditions permit, it is advisable to measure S antibody and V antibody at the same time. The increase of S antibody indicates a recent infection, and the increase of V antibody but not S antibody only indicates that the patient has been infected in the past.

⑶Hemagglutination inhibition test: The amniotic fluid and allantoic fluid of chicken embryos infected with the virus can cause the chicken's red blood cells to agglutinate. The convalescent serum of mumps patients has a strong inhibitory effect on agglutination, while the inhibitory effect of early serum is weaker. If the titer of two measurements differs by more than 4 times, it is positive.

⑷ Virus isolation: In early cases, mumps virus can be isolated from saliva, urine, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, thyroid and other tissues. The procedures are complicated and there is no condition for widespread implementation.

⑸ When the kidneys are affected, proteinuria, red and white blood cells, etc., and even urine changes similar to nephritis may occur.

After reading the above introduction, we have a certain understanding of the examination of mumps. Try to keep a happy mood, don't have too much pressure, work hard to prevent the disease, try not to let your children get mumps, let your children have a healthy and happy childhood, I wish you all a speedy recovery!
