Herpes (HSV) IgG (Varicella)
Over the last 5 Years we made an impact that is strong & we have long way to go.
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) are both members of the Herpesviridae family, but they cause different infections. The HSV IgG test measures antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus, while the Varicella Zoster Virus is the causative agent of chickenpox (Varicella) and shingles (Herpes Zoster). The term Herpes (HSV) IgG (Varicella) typically refers to the IgG antibody test for Varicella, which helps to detect past infection or immunity to the virus.
