2024年12月10日 · The herpes IgG test is a blood test used to diagnose herpes simplex virus (HSV). This includes HSV-1, the type most commonly linked to cold sores, and HSV-2, the type mainly associated with genital herpes.

A positive result for HSV 2 Glycoprotein G Ab, IgG indicates the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). IgG antibodies develop in response to a previous HSV-2 infection.

2023年10月9日 · A herpes antibodies test works by looking in your blood for HSV-1 antibodies or HSV-2 antibodies — typically the IgG type but sometimes the IgM type.

2022年5月27日 · HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies are proteins that have formed due to the presence of the HSV-1 or HSV-2 virus. An immunoglobulin G (IgG) blood test detects these proteins in the blood and can tell...

This test is used to detect IgG antibodies specific to HSV types 1 and/or 2 infection and confirm or rule out possible infection with herpes simplex types 1 and/or 2 virus in prenatal patients in whom HSV 2 infection can cause serious prenatal disease.

This assay detects IgG-class antibodies to type-specific herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoprotein G and may allow for the differentiation of infection caused by HSV types 1 and 2. The presence of IgG-class antibodies to HSV types 1 or 2 indicates previous exposure, and does not necessarily indicate that HSV is the causative agent of an acute ...

Serologic testing for immunoglobulin G (IgG) can be used to determine if a person has ever been exposed to HSV but cannot determine exactly when the exposure occurred or the site of infection.

2013年12月2日 · The HSV-2 IgG Inhibition, ELISA performed at Quest Diagnostics Infectious Disease can be used to further characterize the sample and distinguish a false-positive from a true-positive result. Contact your local Quest Diagnostics laboratory to order this test.

This assay utilizes recombinant type-specific antigens to differentiate HSV-1 from HSV-2 infections. A index positive result cannot distinguish between recent and past infection. If recent HSV infection is suspected but the results are negative or equivocal, the assay should be repeated in 4-6 weeks.

2024年7月12日 · Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the virus most commonly linked to genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that causes painful blisters and ulcers on the penis, vagina, or rectum. The virus is passed during intimate sexual contact prior to and following the outbreak of ulcers.
