Cmv igg was 384 and cmv igm negative what does it mean?
The CMV antibody test measures two different kinds of antibodies, IGG and IGM. After you are infected with the CMV virus, your body first produces IGM antibodies, then IGG antibodies. The IGM antibodies disappear in several weeks to months, but the IGG antibodies stay for life, giving you long-term immunity. A positive IGG result and a negative IGM result mean that you do not have an acute infection, but you are immune to CMV because you were exposed some time in the past. If you are pregnant, this is good news as it means that you do not have to worry about contracting a CMV primo-infection, which can cause severe problems for the baby, ranging from hearing loss to stillbirth. Unlike the answer above states, prior infection with CMV does NOT prevent you from catching a second strain of CMV (much like having the flu once doesn't mean you can't get it again). In fact, being infected with more than one strain of CMV is actually quite common. So if you are pregnant, you should minimise your risk of contracting CMV. Contact with infected urine and saliva are the two most common ways of contracting the virus so try to avoid contact with either of these.
