VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS ANTIBODY – IGM

The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody IgM test detects IgM antibodies against VZV, indicating a recent or acute infection. A positive VZV IgM test suggests a current or recent VZV infection, prompting immediate medical attention and appropriate treatment. This test is used to diagnose acute VZV infection, guide treatment decisions, and implement public health measures to control outbreaks. The VZV IgM test provides valuable information for managing VZV infections, preventing complications, and ensuring timely intervention to reduce the spread of the virus.
