CMV. IgM antibodies to cytomegalovirus

IgM-class antibodies to cytomegalovirus are special immunoglobulins that are produced in the human body in the acute phase of cytomegalovirus infection and are an early serological marker of this disease.

Immunoglobulins M (IgM) are usually the first to appear in the blood (earlier than other types of antibodies). Then their number is gradually reduced (this process can take several months). If an exacerbation of a latent infection occurs, then the IgM level rises again.

It is very important for a pregnant woman to know that she has previously been infected with CMV. This determines whether the virus is dangerous for the fetus and newborn. If a pregnant woman has previously contracted an infection, then the risk to the child will be minimal. An infection that occurred during pregnancy can flare up again, but complications in this form are rare. If a pregnant woman has not previously contracted the infection, she may become infected for the first time during pregnancy. For the fetus / child, this is very dangerous. Acute Cytomegalovirus infection sometimes also manifests itself in a newborn.

CMV. IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus

IgG-class antibodies to cytomegalovirus are specific immunoglobulins produced by the human body during pronounced clinical manifestations of cytomegalovirus infection and are serological markers of this disease, as well as pre-existing Cytomegalovirus infection.

IgM antibodies against herpes simplex virus (KGV) types 1 and 2

This analysis allows you to determine the presence of IgM class antibodies to the herpes simplex virus Type 1 and type 2. Herpes (1.2 IgM antibodies) is a viral disease characterized by characteristic rashes of grouped blisters on the skin and mucous membranes caused by the herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus is transmitted by airborne and sexual means, it is also characterized by a vertical transmission from a pregnant woman to the fetus.  IgM antibodies against the herpes virus are mainly an indication of a primary infection.

Chlamydia (C. trachomatis) IG a antibodies

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for many diseases, including cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix), salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes, endometritis (inflammation of the uterine mucosa), urethritis (inflammation of the urethra), conjunctivitis, pneumonia; epididymitis, prostatitis, Reiter's syndrome, infertility, rectal strictures. Unlike gonorrhea, chlamydia infection is asymptomatic in most cases. Late diagnosis is due to this, which leads to complications of the pathology. Therefore, chlamydia is one of the common causes of infertility.  Neonatal infections (such as conjunctivitis or pneumonia) are caused by infection of babies when they pass through the birth canal. The probability of infection during childbirth is about 50%. IgA antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis are produced 10-15 days after infection. Their number peaks in the acute phase of the disease, somewhat decreasing with the transition to the chronic phase. After effective therapy, the number of Class A antibodies drops sharply. A decrease in Iga titer levels occurs after 3 months. Their titer increases with exacerbation of the chronic process and re-infection, decreases with convalescence. In superficial forms (conjunctivitis, urethritis, etc.), it occurs during infection. 

Chlamydia (C. trachomatis) IG G antibodies to chlamydia.

IgG antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis are produced 3-4 weeks after infection and remain in the blood for a long time.  These are specific, highly active antibodies, but they do not provide permanent immunity to chlamydia. IgG persists for several years, sometimes even for life. The IgG titer decreases with the healing and calming of the process, with reactivation the titer sometimes quadrupling.
