Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) A/B IgG Test at 24-7 Labs

The Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) A/B IgG test measures antibodies in your blood to determine if you have immunity to the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox and shingles. This test is essential for confirming past infection or successful vaccination, helping healthcare providers assess your protection against these viral diseases.

Why Is the VZV A/B IgG Test Important?
Varicella-zoster virus is responsible for chickenpox, primarily affecting children, and shingles, which can occur later in life when the virus reactivates. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates immunity, either from previous infection or vaccination, reducing the risk of disease. This test is especially important for individuals with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, healthcare workers, and those planning to travel or receive vaccinations.

Who Should Get Tested?
Testing is recommended for individuals uncertain about their immunity status, especially pregnant women, healthcare providers, or anyone at higher risk of exposure. It is also useful for people who have had close contact with someone infected and for those undergoing treatments that may suppress the immune system.

How Is the Test Performed?
The test involves a simple blood draw, typically from a vein in your arm. No special preparation is required. Your blood sample is analyzed to detect the presence of VZV IgG antibodies, with results usually available within 24 to 48 hours.
