CYTOMEGALO VIRUS (CMV) – IgM

The cytomegalo virus (CMV) IgM test detects IgM antibodies against CMV, indicating a recent or active infection. A positive CMV IgM test suggests a current or acute CMV infection, prompting immediate medical attention and appropriate treatment. This test is used to diagnose and monitor CMV infections, especially in pregnant women, newborns, and immunocompromised individuals. It provides essential information for managing and treating CMV infections, preventing complications, and ensuring timely intervention to reduce the risk of severe outcomes associated with CMV infection.
