What is Varicella Zoster antibodies, IgG?

This test detects IgG antibodies to the Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox and shingles. A positive IgG result typically indicates past infection or vaccination, suggesting immunity to the virus.

Knowing your IgG status is important to confirm immunity, especially for individuals at higher risk, such as healthcare workers, pregnant women, or those planning to travel. It helps assess protection against future VZV infections.
