INFECTIOUS SEROLOGY – VIROLOGY – CYTOMEGALOVIRUS Diagnostic significance of antibody classes Human cytomegalovirus (CMV, Human Herpesvirus 5, IgA: Antibodies of IgA class are a sign of an active infec- HHV 5) is a member of the Herpetoviridae family. Primary infection of CMV occurs mainly in childhood or adolescence. The infection can be transmitted in different ways (e.g. respiratory apparatus, digestive or urogenital tract). Clinically, the disease process is usually tion – primary infection as well as reactivation. The IgA antibodies are produced during reactivation and they can rarely be...

Results interpretation IgA IgM IgG Avidity Interpretation + + - non done Acute infection + (+) + high Convalescence or reactivation - - + high Past infection Description Tegument protein UL32 A strong immunogen of the late stage of infection (late antigen); it does not develop in the early stage Detectable in the IgG class in higher titres even in reactivation Immediate early antigen, capsid protein UL123 Plays a role in the early phase of the replication cycle of human CMV Important function in defence mechanisms against CMV infection Tegument protein UL83 In the IgM class - one of the markers...
