CMV IgG Avidity, Serum

Diagnostic Use

Diagnosis of primary CMV is based upon the new appearance of CMV-specific IgG in an individual who was previously seronegative or the detection of CMV IgM antibody with low IgG avidity.

Women with suspected CMV infection in pregnancy should have CMV serology testing for IgG and IgM, and IgG avidity if CMV IgG and IgM are positive.
