About test
What does Cytomegalovirus IgG Antibody measure?
This test measures IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus. IgG antibodies usually indicate past exposure to CMV and may remain detectable for many years. A healthcare professional may order this test to assess previous CMV exposure, support evaluation of suspected infection, or help assess CMV immune status in situations such as pregnancy, organ transplantation, or weakened immunity. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other tests.
