Measles Laboratory Testing Guidance
Symptoms of the measles infection are generally consistent, but a diagnosis of measles should only be given if the patient has undergone lab tests.

If a patient has been exposed to measles or the onset of symptoms such as the rash and high fever is consistent with that of the viral infection, health care providers should conduct lab tests. Accurate testing procedures and communication of lab results are imperative to disease control and prevention. Infectious diseases must be carefully monitored by public health departments. The Measles Laboratory Testing Guidance app provides comprehensive instructions for throat swab, urine and serologic testing for confirming cases of measles infection. The app outlines the appropriate clinical specimens used for lab testing based on the testing method for either PCR or Serum IgM, how to collect, test, and package each specimen, and finally, how to ship and properly submit all clinical specimens. This app is a useful tool for quickly and confidently confirming or denying suspect measles cases to treat potential patients, prevent further exposure to the virus, and protect the public from measles outbreaks.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
