Chicken Pox IgG
Chickenpox (varicella) is a rash-associated disease caused by the Varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It produces a dermal vesiculopustular rash after an incubation period of 10 to 21 days following infection. It is extremely contagious benign disease, that generally occurs during childhood. Primary infection leads to an increase in immunity and offers protection against subsequent infections. After remaining dormant for several days or months, the virus reactivates and manifests itself s herpes zoster. The IgG-class antibodies to VZV is a serological screening test that aids in assessing the immune status of an individual and identifying non-immune individuals.
