Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody Test, IgG

Feeling fatigue, fever, or swollen glands? A Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody Test, IgG can determine if you’ve been previously exposed to the CMV virus. This blood test detects IgG antibodies, which appear after the initial infection and remain in your body long-term.

A positive CMV IgG test indicates past exposure or infection. While CMV often causes no symptoms, it can pose risks for people with weakened immune systems or pregnant women, where careful monitoring is important.

Discussing your CMV test results with a healthcare provider ensures proper evaluation and guidance for your specific situation. This CMV antibody test is a vital tool for immune health screening, prenatal care, and managing potential CMV-related concerns.
