Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
This test measures the avidity of IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus, which indicates how strongly the antibodies bind to the virus. High avidity suggests a past infection, while low avidity may indicate a recent infection.
Who should take this test?
Individuals who are pregnant, immunocompromised, or showing symptoms of CMV infection should consider this test. It is particularly relevant for those with a history of exposure to the virus.
How do I prepare for this test?
Preparation for this test involves providing a serum sample of 2 mL (0.5 mL minimum) from one SST. It is important to avoid hemolysed specimens as they are not acceptable. The sample should be shipped either refrigerated or frozen.
What do the results mean?
Results are interpreted based on the avidity of the IgG antibodies. High avidity indicates a past infection, while low avidity suggests a recent infection, which may require further clinical evaluation.
How long until I get my results?
Results for this test are typically available within 4 to 5 days. They will be delivered through the specified communication method.
