The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgM Antibody Test is a critical serological blood test used to detect the presence of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies specific to the Cytomegalovirus. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody produced by the body in response to a new infection.
Therefore, a positive CMV IgM result serves as the primary marker for acute (recent or primary) CMV infection or, sometimes, a viral reactivation. Timely detection is vital, particularly in pregnant women and immunocompromised patients, where acute CMV can cause severe complications.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-accredited lab in Delhi, we ensure the accurate and timely detection of CMV IgM to support clinical management in vulnerable patient groups.
