Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common human virus. CMV causes an infectious mononucleosis syndrome clinically indistinguishable from mono, a very common entity. It is useful to test in people who have symptoms consistent with mono (Epstein-Barr virus). Most adults have been infected with CMV and are carriers of the virus. Consequences of CMV infection can be devastating in a pregnant woman, a transplant patient, or a person with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Antibody screening helps control the infection risk for these groups.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), IgG antibody test is the best test to determine if a person has had a CMV infection.
This PCR test is the best test to determine if a person is a carrier of CMV.
