Varicella Zoster Virus VZV Antibodies Panel IgG IgM Test
Comprehensive VZV Immunity and Infection Detection
The Varicella Zoster Virus VZV Antibodies Panel IgG IgM Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic tool designed to detect and monitor immunity against the varicella-zoster virus, the causative agent of both chickenpox and shingles. This comprehensive panel provides healthcare providers with essential information about a patient’s immune status, helping to guide appropriate medical interventions and preventive measures.
What Does This Test Measure?
This advanced diagnostic panel specifically measures two critical types of antibodies:
- IgG Antibodies: These indicate long-term immunity and past exposure to the virus
- IgM Antibodies: These suggest recent or active infection
The test detects antibodies against both chickenpox (varicella) and herpes zoster (shingles), providing a complete picture of your immune response to VZV infections.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Symptoms and Risk Factors
This test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained fever with skin rash
- Painful, blistering skin lesions
- Nerve pain without visible symptoms
- Individuals with compromised immune systems
- Healthcare workers requiring immunity verification
- Pregnant women with potential VZV exposure
- Adults considering shingles vaccination
Key Benefits of VZV Antibody Testing

Understanding Your Test Results
Interpretation Guidelines
Your test results will fall into one of several categories:
- IgG Positive, IgM Negative: Indicates past infection and established immunity
