PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibody, IgM test detects IgM antibodies produced in response to a recent or active cytomegalovirus infection. CMV is a common virus in the herpesvirus family, and while many infections are mild, CMV can be significant in certain populations.
This test is commonly used to evaluate suspected recent CMV infection, particularly in individuals with flu-like symptoms, during pregnancy, or in those with weakened immune systems. A positive IgM result may indicate a current or recent infection and is often interpreted alongside CMV IgG and other clinical findings.
