Chickenpox: Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV)

Varicella Zoster Virus testing checks for the presence of chickenpox antibodies in adults, which indicate a previous infection with chickenpox. It is valuable because adults with no antibodies to chickenpox may want to be vaccinated against the disease. Having chickenpox as an adult is generally more painful and severe than in childhood, and scarring of the face and body from the pox marks is of increased concern.
