CMV IgM

Description

Product Information: CMV IgM (Cytomegalovirus Immunoglobulin M)

Product Name: CMV IgM (Cytomegalovirus Immunoglobulin M)

Description:
CMV IgM is a diagnostic test that detects the presence of Immunoglobulin M antibodies specific to the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in a patient’s blood sample. CMV is a common virus that can cause infections in people of all ages, but it is particularly concerning for pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and newborns. The presence of IgM antibodies typically indicates a recent infection or an active CMV infection.

Test Principle:
The CMV IgM test uses immunoassay technology to detect IgM antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a CMV infection. A positive result indicates recent infection or primary infection, while a negative result generally suggests that the person has not been recently infected or does not have an active infection.

Key Features:

• Early Detection: Detects acute or recent CMV infections by identifying IgM antibodies.
• High Sensitivity and Specificity: Accurate and reliable results for diagnosing CMV infections.
• Quick Results: Fast turnaround time, enabling timely diagnosis and intervention.
• Clinical Relevance: Essential for monitoring pregnant women, immunocompromised patients, and neonates at risk of CMV-related complications.

Indications for Use:

• Diagnosis of primary or acute CMV infection.
• Monitoring CMV infection in immunocompromised individuals (e.g., organ transplant recipients).
• Assessment of CMV infection during pregnancy to prevent fetal transmission.
• Identification of recent CMV exposure in individuals showing symptoms of viral infections.

Advantages:

• Helps in the early detection of CMV infections, preventing severe complications such as congenital CMV in newborns.
• A non-invasive test that only requires a blood sample.
• Can aid in differentiating between primary and reactivated CMV infections.

Storage and Handling:

• Store at room temperature (2-30°C).
• Keep the test kit away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Ensure that the product is within its expiration date for accurate results.

Caution:

• A positive CMV IgM result should be confirmed with further clinical tests or CMV IgG testing for a comprehensive diagnosis.
• Negative results do not rule out the possibility of a CMV infection, especially in the early stages.

Packaging:
Available in various sizes: individual test kits and bulk packages for clinical labs.
