What is Parvovirus B19 IgG?
Parvovirus B19 IgG is a biomarker that measures the presence of IgG antibodies against Parvovirus B19 in the blood. These antibodies indicate a previous infection with the virus, which causes erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) and can affect red blood cells.
Why should you test for Parvovirus B19 IgG?
Testing for Parvovirus B19 IgG can be useful to determine if a person has previously been exposed to the virus, which is especially important for pregnant women, individuals with immune disorders, or patients with unexplained anemia. It assists in assessing immunity status against Parvovirus B19.
What does it indicate?
A positive result for Parvovirus B19 IgG antibodies indicates a prior infection with Parvovirus B19. This means that the person may have developed immunity against the virus.
What does a high Parvovirus B19 IgG level mean?
A high level of Parvovirus B19 IgG antibodies indicates that the person was infected with the virus in the past and is now likely immune. This is particularly relevant for assessing the risks of infection during pregnancy or in immune-compromised patients.
What does a low Parvovirus B19 IgG level mean?
A low or non-detectable level of Parvovirus B19 IgG antibodies suggests that the person may not have had previous exposure to the virus and may be susceptible to infection.
