Serology
9 markers in this category
CMV IgG
A CMV IgG test detects IgG antibodies against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in your blood. A positive result typically indicates a past CMV infection and suggests that your immune system has developed long-term immunity to the virus.
HTLV I+II
An HTLV I+II test screens for antibodies against Human T-Lymphotropic Virus types 1 and 2. These retroviruses can infect T-cells and, in some cases, may be associated with serious conditions such as adult T-cell leukaemia or HTLV-associated myelopathy.
Hepatitis B Core Antibody
A Hepatitis B Core Antibody (anti-HBc) test detects antibodies produced in response to the core antigen of the hepatitis B virus. A positive result may indicate a current, past, or resolved hepatitis B infection and should be interpreted alongside other hepatitis B markers.
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
A Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test detects the presence of HBsAg in your blood, which is one of the earliest indicators of a hepatitis B infection. A positive result may indicate an active hepatitis B infection and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Hepatitis C Antibody
A Hepatitis C Antibody (anti-HCV) test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the hepatitis C virus. A positive result indicates exposure to the virus but does not distinguish between a current or past infection. Further testing is needed for confirmation.
Rubella IgG
A Rubella IgG test detects IgG antibodies against the rubella virus in your blood. The presence of IgG antibodies typically indicates immunity to rubella through past infection or successful vaccination.
Toxoplasmosis IgG
A Toxoplasmosis IgG test detects IgG antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite in your blood. The presence of IgG antibodies typically indicates a past infection, suggesting that you have been previously exposed and have developed an immune response.
Toxoplasmosis IgM
A Toxoplasmosis IgM test detects IgM antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite in your blood. The presence of IgM antibodies may indicate a recent or active infection, which is particularly important to identify during pregnancy.
Varicella Zoster
A Varicella Zoster test detects antibodies against the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in your blood. This virus causes chickenpox (varicella) during initial infection and may reactivate later in life as shingles (herpes zoster). Testing helps determine your immunity status.
