I am very worried and have read the reference on Vinmec's website and found that the advice of the doctor I examined was unreasonable. I would like to ask Vinmec doctor to answer and advise me on the issue of a positive CMV IgG test, does it mean I am infected with the virus and need treatment? If I am pregnant, will it cause stillbirth?

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that causes infections such as chickenpox, shingles, etc. Cytomegalovirus can be easily transmitted through contact with the secretions of an infected person. People infected with cytomegalovirus often have no symptoms, so people at high risk of infection need to proactively go for CMV testing for diagnosis and timely treatment.

Cytomegalovirus is a very common virus, normally CMV does not affect health, however, for some subjects, especially pregnant women, CMV infection can cause permanent damage to the fetus. So what is the CMV test?

CMV DNA test is one of the tests to check whether Cytomegalovirus virus exists in the patient's body or not. Detection of this virus can be done by culturing the virus or detecting the genetic material of this virus (CMV-DNA).
