Cytomegalovirus IgG Avidity
Overview of Cytomegalovirus IgG Avidity in Pathanamthitta
What is the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG Avidity Serum test?
This test determines the strength with which CMV-specific IgG antibodies bind to their target antigens, helping to distinguish between recent and past CMV infections.
Why is this test done?
It is particularly useful in pregnancy, where recent infection can have serious implications for the fetus. It may also help guide antiviral treatment decisions.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is analyzed using immunoassays to assess IgG avidity, with results categorized as high or low avidity.
What do the results mean?
Low avidity indicates recent infection (within the past 3 months), while high avidity suggests infection occurred in the more distant past.
Are there any precautions or preparations required?
No special preparation is needed for this test.
