Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can cause severe complications, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems or during pregnancy. Testing for CMV antibodies is significant for several reasons. It helps diagnose acute or past CMV infection, assess immune status, and determine the risk of transmission to vulnerable individuals. Testing is important for pregnant women, newborns, transplant recipients, and those with compromised immune systems. It aids in appropriate patient management, and preventive measures, and reduces the impact of CMV-related complications.
