Varicella Zoster Virus VZV Antibodies Panel IgG IgM Test
Introduction
The Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibodies Panel IgG IgM Test is a crucial diagnostic tool that assesses your immune response to VZV, the virus responsible for chickenpox and shingles. Understanding your immunity to this virus is vital, especially for those who may be at risk of severe complications from these infections. This test provides valuable insights into your health and helps guide clinical decisions.
What the Test Measures
This test detects the presence of two types of antibodies in your blood: IgG and IgM. IgG antibodies indicate past infection or vaccination, while IgM antibodies suggest a recent infection. By analyzing these antibodies, healthcare providers can determine your immune status regarding VZV.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as rashes, fever, or fatigue, or those who have been exposed to chickenpox or shingles should consider this test. Additionally, pregnant women, immunocompromised patients, and those planning to undergo surgical procedures may also need to assess their immunity to VZV.

Understanding Your Results
