What is CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (CMV) IGG AVIDITY?
This blood test measures the "avidity" or binding strength of your CMV IgG antibodies. It helps determine if a CMV infection occurred recently or in the more distant past.
Why is this test important?
CMV IgG Avidity is particularly valuable during pregnancy when a positive CMV IgG and IgM result can be confusing. High avidity suggests an older infection, while low avidity indicates a more recent primary infection, which carries different risks.
How to Prepare
No special preparation, such as fasting, is required before this blood test.
