Test Details
The VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS (VZV) ANTIBODIES PANEL IgG & IgM test is a blood test that measures the levels of IgG and IgM antibodies in the blood to determine if a person has been exposed to the varicella zoster virus. The varicella zoster virus is responsible for causing chickenpox and shingles. After a person is infected with the virus, their immune system produces antibodies to fight against it. IgG antibodies are long-lasting and indicate a past infection or vaccination, while IgM antibodies are produced in the early stages of an infection.
This test can be used to:
- Determine immunity: A positive IgG result indicates that a person has been previously infected with the virus or has received the varicella vaccine, providing immunity against future infections.
- Diagnose current infection: A positive IgM result indicates a current or recent infection with the varicella zoster virus, such as chickenpox or shingles.
- Confirm vaccine effectiveness: The test can also be used to determine if a person has developed a sufficient immune response after receiving the varicella vaccine.
It is important to note that this test is not used for routine screening, as most people have been exposed to the varicella zoster virus at some point in their lives. It is typically ordered when there is a suspected current infection or to confirm immunity in certain situations, such as for healthcare workers or pregnant women.
The results of the test are usually reported as positive or negative for IgG and IgM antibodies. A positive IgG result indicates immunity, while a positive IgM result indicates a current or recent infection. A negative result for both antibodies suggests no current infection or immunity.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further interpretation of the test results and appropriate management or treatment if necessary.
