Result Interpretation
<30.0 AU/mL (negative): Absence of
detectable CMV IgM antibodies. A negative result, however, does not
always rule out acute CMV infection. The IgM response may not be
detectable in the early stage of the infection or if the patient is
immunocompromised. If clinical exposure to CMV is suspected
despite a negative finding, a second specimen should be drawn
and tested on <1 to 2 weeks later.)
30.0-34.9 AU/mL (equivocal): The equivocal specimen should be repeat tested. In case the result should remain in this range after repeat testing, a second specimen should be drawn.) ≥35.0 AU/mL (positive): Presence of detectable CMV IgM antibodies. A positive result is generally indicative of acute infection, reactivation or persistence IgM production.) |
