Sterling Accuris diagnostics provide the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) IgM and IgG test in Navsari  to diagnose VZV infection.

Overview of Varicella Zoster Virus antibody Test

A Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) is the agent that causes chicken pox or shingles. It especially affects children and immunocompromised people. VZV antibody test indicates an individual’s immunity against the Varicella Zoster Virus. When VZV infects an individual's body, it produces two types of antibodies in response. After VZV infection, IgG and IgM antibodies appear 2 to 5 days after the rash and show the highest titers at 2 to 3 weeks. The VZV IgM antibody levels then rapidly decrease and cannot be detected 1 year after infection, and the IgG antibody levels gradually decrease, showing positive test results for several years. IgG is responsible for providing immunity due to the presence of previous infection or vaccination.

Overview of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test

The varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the herpesviridae family, is the cause behind both varicella and shingles. Acute illness and strong contagiousness characterise chickenpox. A cutaneous vesiculopustular rash that appears 10–21 days after exposure is the disease's defining feature. Immunity against recurrent infections is conferred by primary VZV infection; nonetheless, VZV stays dormant inside sensory neurons and has the potential to reactivate, resulting in the herpes zoster illness. Herpes zoster is a painful illness that affects older non-immune adults, those whose immunity to VZV is declining and people whose cell-mediated immunity is compromised. Real-time PCR tests have shown to be effective for detecting the varicella-zoster virus because they reduce the amount of time needed for detection and increase sensitivity.

• Fever
• Impetigo
• Sore throat
• Contact dermatitis
• Candida infection
• Headache
• Folliculitis
• Scabies
• Insect bites
• Papular urticaria
• Dermatitis herpetiformitis
• Drug eruptions

• Sample type for test: Vesicular lesions, scabs, or body fluids.

Understanding how to interpret Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Real Time-PCR Test Reports

VZV is present if a DNA test for the virus gives a positive result. An active infection is typically indicated by high viral DNA levels. Low levels may not always imply a symptomatic illness but do indicate a VZV infection.
