Order Varicella VZV Titer Test | Chicken Pox IgG Immunity TestingThe Varicella VZV Titer Test measures IgG antibodies against the varicella-zoster virus, the pathogen responsible for chickenpox and shingles. Because antibody levels persist after either natural infection or vaccination, this blood test is often used to clarify immune status when a person's history is uncertain or undocumented.
About Varicella VZV Titer Test | Chicken Pox IgG Immunity Testing in Queens
Antibody testing offers a serologic snapshot of prior exposure or immunization rather than an active infection check.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a herpesvirus that causes chickenpox during primary infection and can reactivate later in life as herpes zoster, or shingles. After exposure or vaccination, the immune system produces IgG antibodies that typically remain detectable for years, forming the basis for immunity screening.
The test specifically detects VZV IgG in serum. A reactive or positive result generally indicates that IgG antibodies are present, consistent with past infection or vaccination. A non-reactive or negative result suggests no detectable IgG, which may mean a person is susceptible, though results are interpreted alongside clinical history and sometimes follow-up testing.
This assay is not intended to diagnose an active varicella or zoster infection. Acute infections are better evaluated with methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or IgM testing. IgG testing is primarily a retrospective or pre-exposure immunity assessment tool.
