Question
What does lGM mean? What does lgG mean?
Answer
lGM and lgG are both abbreviations for antibodies against the Cytomegalovirus. A positive IgG for Cytomegalovirus indicates that the individual has previously been infected with the virus, but it’s possible that they have recovered. The body has produced antibodies. If the virus antibody type is IgM, it generally suggests a recent acute infection. If it’s IgG, it typically indicates a chronic or latent infection or that the body has developed an immunity against the virus through antiviral antibodies.
