What is CMV?

CMV IgG (Cytomegalovirus Immunoglobulin G) is an antibody test used to detect the presence of IgG antibodies against Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus that can cause infections. The presence of CMV IgG indicates past infection or exposure to the virus, as these antibodies typically remain in the bloodstream for life once a person has been infected.

This test is often used to determine immunity to CMV, particularly in pregnant women, organ transplant recipients, or individuals with compromised immune systems, as CMV infection during pregnancy can lead to congenital CMV or other complications. A positive IgG result generally suggests previous exposure or a latent infection, while a negative result may indicate no prior exposure.

What to expect & how to prepare

CMV is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your CMV result rather than self-diagnosing.
