About test
What does Cytomegalovirus IgM Antibody measure?
This test measures IgM antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus. IgM antibodies may be present during a recent or current CMV infection, although results should be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings. A healthcare professional may order this test when evaluating symptoms that could be related to CMV or when assessing possible recent CMV exposure, including during pregnancy or in people with weakened immune systems.
