VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS ANTIBODY – IGG

The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody IgG test detects IgG antibodies against VZV, the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. A positive VZV IgG test indicates past infection or vaccination and the presence of long-term immunity. This test is used to assess immune status, confirm immunity, and guide vaccination decisions. The VZV IgG test provides valuable information for determining an individual’s risk of VZV infection, guiding public health measures, and ensuring appropriate medical management to prevent outbreaks. It helps manage VZV immunity and prevent complications associated with VZV infection.
