CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (CMV) ANTIBODY IgM Test – Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus that can cause serious health problems for people with weakened immune systems, such as newborns, transplant recipients, and people with HIV/AIDS. The CMV Antibody IgM test is a blood test that can determine if a person has been recently infected with CMV.
Symptoms of CMV
Many people infected with CMV have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, in people with weakened immune systems, CMV can cause serious health problems, including:
- Pneumonia
- Hepatitis
- Encephalitis
- Retinitis
- Colitis
Diagnosis of CMV
CMV can be diagnosed through blood tests, urine tests, and other laboratory tests. The CMV Antibody IgM test is a blood test that can determine if a person has been recently infected with CMV. This test detects the presence of IgM antibodies, which are produced by the body in response to an acute CMV infection.
It is important to note that a positive CMV Antibody IgM test does not necessarily mean that a person has an active CMV infection. The presence of IgM antibodies can persist for several months after an acute infection, so additional tests may be needed to confirm an active infection.
Cost of CMV Antibody IgM Test
The cost of the CMV Antibody IgM test in India is INR 678.6. This cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory where the test is performed.
Conclusion
The CMV Antibody IgM test is an important tool for diagnosing recent CMV infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems. If you have symptoms of CMV or if you are at high risk of CMV infection, talk to your healthcare provider about getting tested.
