PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody, IgG test detects IgG antibodies produced in response to past exposure to cytomegalovirus, a common virus in the herpesvirus family. A positive IgG result indicates previous infection and typically suggests long-term immunity.
This test is commonly used to assess prior CMV exposure, particularly in pregnancy, transplant evaluation, or individuals with weakened immune systems. It does not indicate a current or active infection, which is typically evaluated with CMV IgM or molecular testing.
