What is the Varicella Zoster IgM (VZV IgM) Test?

The Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) IgM Antibodies (Chicken Pox) test detects varicella-zoster IgM antibodies (VZV). First-time exposure to VZV produces chickenpox; second-time exposure causes shingles. IgM antibodies indicate an infection. As the first antibodies produced by the body in response to VZV infection, they aid in early detection.

A negative IgM test doesn't rule out infection because the sample was taken before antibodies appeared if symptoms continue, re-test in 2-3 weeks.

Why done? 

The test detects if a person has been exposed to the Varicella zoster virus, which causes chicken pox and herpes zoster. It helps find the infection early and treat it.

Procedure: 

You'll have blood extracted from an arm vein.
