Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that affects people of all ages. Most people infected with CMV show no signs or symptoms of infection and have no long-term health concerns. However, in people with a weakened immune system, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy, CMV can cause severe illness. Pregnant women infected with CMV can transmit the virus to their unborn child, leading to complications such as hearing loss or developmental delays. The CMV IgG panel test, offered by Apollo 24|7, is a comprehensive test used to detect past or current infections with the CMV virus.

Symptoms

Many people with CMV infection show no symptoms. However, for some individuals, symptoms may present as:
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Swollen glands
- Muscle aches
- Loss of appetite

In rare cases, CMV infection can lead to severe complications, especially in individuals with a weakened immune system. Some of these complications include:
- Pneumonia
- Hepatitis
- Encephalitis

Test Procedure

The CMV IgG panel test requires a blood sample. A healthcare provider will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in your arm. The blood sample will then be sent to a laboratory for testing.

At the lab, the sample will be analysed to detect the presence of antibodies to the CMV virus. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to an infection. The presence of antibodies indicates that a person has been infected with the virus at some point in the past.

Treatment

There is no specific treatment for CMV infection. Most people with a healthy immune system will recover from the infection without any complications. In people with weakened immune systems, antiviral medications may be prescribed to help treat the infection.

Individuals who receive a positive CMV IgG panel test result should speak with their healthcare provider about their options for treatment and follow-up care. Pregnant women who test positive for CMV should also speak with their healthcare provider about the risks of transmission to their unborn child.
