Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG

• The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG Test is a diagnostic blood test that detects the presence of IgG antibodies against the CMV virus
• CMV is a common virus that can cause mild or no symptoms in healthy individuals but can be serious for pregnant women, newborns, and immunocompromised patients
• The presence of CMV IgG antibodies indicates a past infection or exposure to the virus

• Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG Test determine past exposure to the CMV virus
• Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG Test assess immunity status against CMV, especially in pregnant women or those planning to conceive
• Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG Test evaluate potential CMV infection in immunocompromised individuals, such as organ transplant recipients or HIV patients
• Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG Test aid in diagnosing recent or reactivated CMV infections when combined with other CMV tests (e.g., CMV IgM antibodies, CMV PCR)

• Blood sample collection
• Laboratory analysis to detect CMV IgG antibodies
• Quantitative measurement of IgG antibody levels
• The Comprehensive report detailing antibody presence and concentration

• Positive IgG Antibodies: indicate past infection or exposure to CMV, suggesting immunity
• Negative IgG Antibodies: indicate no prior exposure to CMV, suggesting susceptibility to primary infection
• High IgG Levels: May indicate a recent or reactivated infection, especially if CMV IgM antibodies are also positive

• The results of the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody IgG Test provide important information about an individual’s immune status regarding CMV
• Positive results confirm past exposure and potential immunity, while negative results indicate susceptibility to infection
• Doctors use these results to make informed decisions about patient care, especially in high-risk groups
