What is Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgM?

This blood test detects IgM antibodies to Cytomegalovirus (CMV). The presence of IgM antibodies usually indicates a recent or active CMV infection.

Why is this test important?

CMV IgM testing is used to diagnose a current or very recent CMV infection. This is especially important for pregnant women, as a primary infection during pregnancy can pose risks to the baby, and for individuals with weakened immune systems.

How to Prepare

No special preparation, such as fasting, is required before this blood test.
