A blood test measuring IgG and IgM antibodies to parvovirus B19, commonly used to help understand a past or current infection. Suits people advised to check exposure, including around pregnancy.
This test measures IgG and IgM antibodies to parvovirus B19. IgG and IgM antibody testing is commonly used to help understand your immune response to a past or current parvovirus B19 infection, including in the context of pregnancy or a known exposure.
We do not have a comparison group of similar antibody tests to weigh this one against directly, so it is judged here on its own facts rather than against named peers.
Its value-for-money score is reasonable because £119 is below the £144.25 median for the 79 similarly sized immunity tests we track. Clarity scores lower than many other Medichecks tests because the listing does not spell out the specific biomarkers measured or describe the report format, even though the test name and description make clear it covers both antibody types. It scores well for trust signals and for results and follow-up, since every result is reviewed by a doctor.
This suits anyone who has been advised to check their parvovirus B19 antibody status, for example around pregnancy or after a known exposure, and who is comfortable attending a clinic or booking a home nurse visit rather than testing entirely at home.
We do not track a comparable parvovirus B19 antibody test from another provider to suggest as an alternative on price or convenience.
You provide a venous blood sample at an in-store clinic or via a home nurse visit; there is no finger-prick option for this test. Medichecks states results are returned within 4 days, with a doctor's comment included as standard.
This test measures IgG and IgM antibodies to parvovirus B19 for £119, with results returned within 4 days and a doctor's comment included. It requires a venous blood draw at a clinic or via a home nurse visit rather than a finger-prick kit, and we do not track a directly comparable test to compare its price against.
The listing publishes a short description, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state the biomarkers measured, what the report looks like.
1 biomarkers, placing it in the 36th percentile of immunity tests we track.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 4 days, slower than similar tests.
