Order Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG Antibody TestThe Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG Antibody Test is a blood test that detects IgG-class antibodies directed against cytomegalovirus, a common member of the herpesvirus family.

About Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG Antibody Test in Draper
CMV IgG testing is primarily about establishing exposure history rather than diagnosing an active infection.
Cytomegalovirus is a widespread virus that often produces no noticeable symptoms in healthy individuals. After infection, the immune system generates antibodies, including IgG, which typically remain detectable for life.
The IgG antibody response is distinct from IgM, which tends to appear earlier and fade sooner. A positive IgG result generally indicates past exposure, while a negative result suggests no prior infection, though timing and immune status can influence interpretation.
CMV IgG testing is frequently used in contexts such as pregnancy, organ transplantation, and blood donation screening, where knowing a person's exposure status helps guide clinical decisions. Results are reported as positive, negative, or occasionally equivocal, and are interpreted alongside the clinical picture.
