Question 1

how could someone get one igg titer for a couple of immunizations?

Accepted Answer

Vaccine titers: You can get antibody or igg titers to see if your immunizations are working or conferring protection. You can have your doctors order those labs at any commercial labs.

Question 2

i did rpr at 4 weeks, 6 weeks non reactive . 8 weeks 1:1 titer weak reactive. 8 weeks 3 days i do rpr again and mha-tp both non-reactive. should i do one more rpr at 12 weeks to confirm. thanks dr?

Accepted Answer

: False positive results are quite common with RPR, which is why all positive results must be confirmed with a second test before diagnosing syphilis. Your test results show your positive RPR at 8 weeks was false. It is certain you do not have syphilis. No more testing is needed.

Question 3

how is antimitochondrial antibody w reflex to titer different from mitochondrail antibody igg titer, one test is postive , one is negative. are these the same test or different?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, there is more than one way to test for antimitochondrial antibodies and different methods do not give interchangeable result.   
Wish you good health!

Question 4

is it possible to get one igg titer for mmr (measles, mumps, rubella) and varicella if i don't have my immunization card?

Accepted Answer

Separate issues: There are lab tests available for each of the four agents you listed. Contact your pcp to see if they can be drawn at their office or at a separate lab site.

Question 5

one lab said i have an ana >1280 homogenous pattern and a completely different lab that said i had ana >320 speckled pattern. i am confused. can ana tigers change like this? are ana titers dependable? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: The reports are based on the technology they used for the test but the only contradiction is one was speckled otherwise the titers are showing the limits of the tech they used. The importance of the titers is the same lab using the same technology to follow titer but the threshold exceeded already confirmed abnormality. Let your doctor use the information to make diagnosis and manage with you.

Question 6

can people with iga deficiency get mmr and hep b vaccine? i had one as a kid but titers showed no immunity.

Accepted Answer

Yes: The immune system that reacts to these vaccines triggers IgM (transiently )  &amp; IgG antibody (long term) as part of their drive to create protection. IgA deficiency patients can benefit from these vaccines.
