Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've seen many kids titer tests and several of them were interesting. in that one would not be immune or have positive antibodies to rubella but have high titers to measles. So somehow the vaccine caused measles to be high but didn't work on this child for rubella. Another child polio didn't take but measles and rubella were high. Doctors disagree about the meaning of high titers. I think there is agreement that if they are positive the child has anti-bodies to the disease but if they are high is when/where the disagreement comes in. > > I'd be curious to know whether other patients who have had their > vaccine titers tested showed high or strangely low in any.
