Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
There is only one serotype of mumps virus that infects humans. Mumps has been recognized since antiquity by virtue of the parotitis, which is often a striking clinical feature of the disease. Generally, a trivial childhood illness, the varied presentation of mumps reflects the widespread invasion of visceral organs and central nervous system that commonly follows infection with mumps virus.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
IgG: <1:5
IgM: <1:10
Reference values apply to all ages.
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Detection of organism-specific antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may suggest central nervous system infection. However, these results are unable to distinguish between intrathecal antibodies and serum antibodies introduced into the CSF at the time of lumbar puncture or from a breakdown in the blood-brain barrier. The results should be interpreted with other laboratory and clinical data prior to a diagnosis of central nervous system infection
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from a patient is reacted with the antigen substrate. Antibodies, if present, will bind to the antigen forming stable antigen-antibody complexes. If no antibodies are present, the complexes will not be formed, and CSF components will be washed away. Fluorescein labeled antihuman IgG or IgM antibody is added to the reaction site which binds with the complexes formed. This results in a positive reaction of bright apple-green fluorescence when viewed with a properly equipped fluorescence microscope. If no complexes are formed, the fluorescein labeled antibody will be washed away, exhibiting a negative result.(Package insert: Mumps Virus Antigen Substrate Slide. AESKU.BION; 09/2019)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
Monday through Friday
Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.
Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
