CMV (IgG) Test at Home in Dubai
Included
About the Test
This blood test measures CMV IgG antibodies, which develop after cytomegalovirus infection and usually stay for life, showing past exposure and immunity. A positive result means you have encountered CMV before, while a negative result means you likely have not and may still be susceptible. It is often used to check immune status before pregnancy, prior to certain procedures, or as part of screening in people with weakened immunity.
What is it? A blood test detecting IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common herpes-family virus, indicating previous exposure and long-term immunity.
