Cytomegalovirus CMV Avidity IgG Test
Introduction to the Cytomegalovirus CMV Avidity IgG Test
The Cytomegalovirus CMV Avidity IgG Test is an important diagnostic tool used to determine whether a person has had a recent or past infection with the cytomegalovirus (CMV). This test is particularly significant for pregnant women, as CMV can pose serious risks to the fetus if contracted during pregnancy. Understanding the timing of the infection can help healthcare providers manage and mitigate potential complications.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the avidity of IgG antibodies against CMV. A high avidity indicates a past infection, while low avidity suggests a recent infection. This distinction is crucial for assessing the risk of congenital CMV infection in newborns.

- Pregnant women, especially those with a suspected recent CMV infection.

The Cytomegalovirus CMV Avidity IgG Test offers several benefits:
- Helps determine the timing of CMV infection, which is vital for pregnant women.
