The Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) antibody test measures the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against the Varicella Zoster Virus, which causes chickenpox and shingles. - **IgG Antibodies**: These indicate past infection or vaccination against VZV. They typically develop after the initial infection or vaccination and persist for life, providing long-term immunity. - **IgM Antibodies**: These are usually produced in the early stages of a recent or acute VZV infection, indicating an active or recent infection. The test helps diagnose current or past varicella infections, confirm immunity status, and differentiate between recent and past infections. Accurate detection of these antibodies is crucial for diagnosing varicella (chickenpox) or herpes zoster (shingles) and for assessing immune status, especially in individuals at risk or those exposed to the virus.
