Laboratory assay overview

This test may aid in the diagnosis of acute and recent infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The presence of IgM-class antibodies to VZV is suggestive of acute or recent infection; however, results should be correlated with clinical presentation. VZV IgM may also be detectable in individuals recently immunized against VZV or individual's with reactivation of latent virus.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
