Understanding Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG in Pune
What is Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG in Pune?
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG test is a blood test done to determine the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1. These antibodies indicate a previous herpes infection, as IgG antibodies develop later in the course of the infection and persist for an extended period. This test helps in the diagnosis of past HSV 1 infection which can cause oral herpes (cold sores) and less commonly genital herpes. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Pune.
Your doctor may recommend the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG test when you have symptoms such as painful, recurring blisters or ulcers, fever, body aches, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes, etc, suggestive of herpes infection. No special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.
What does Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG measure?
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG test determines the presence of IgG antibodies against HSV-1 in response to the Herpes infection. The body begins to make IgG antibodies around 18 to 21 days after the exposure of the virus and remains in the body for life. The presence of IgG antibodies generally indicates past exposure and immunity against herpes infection. Getting tested helps manage herpes infection and prevent it from spreading further as the HSV-1 remains dormant in the body after the initial infection and can reactivate at various times, leading to recurrent outbreaks.
