The VZV IgG Antibodies Test is a blood test that detects IgG antibodies to the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) — the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. IgG antibodies typically appear after infection or vaccination and usually remain in the body for life, providing long-term immunity.
A positive IgG result indicates past exposure or immunity, either from a previous infection or vaccination.

    Why It’s Done:

    This test is commonly performed to:
    • Determine if a person is immune to chickenpox, especially before pregnancy, organ transplant, or starting immunosuppressive therapy.
    • Confirm a history of chickenpox or vaccination.
    • Assist in diagnosing shingles (herpes zoster) or VZV-related complications.
    • Screen healthcare workers, teachers, or others at risk of exposure to VZV.

    Preparation:

    • No special preparation is needed for this test.
    • Inform your doctor if you’ve recently received a varicella vaccine, had symptoms of chickenpox or shingles, or are taking any immune-modulating medications.
    • A simple blood sample will be taken, typically from a vein in your arm.
