About this test

Want to know if you've recently been exposed to or had a past infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV)? This test measures CMV antibodies, helping you understand your immune status. CMV is spread through close contact with someone who has the virus and may reoccur if you have a weakened immune system. It may cause flu-like symptoms, but often, it causes no symptoms.
