Frozen | 365 days |
134.9 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of IgG antibody to varicella-zoster virus detected.
135.0 - 164.9 IV: Equivocal - Repeat testing in 10 - 14 days may be helpful.
165.0 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to varicella-zoster virus detected, which may indicate a current or past varicella-zoster infection.
The detection of antibodies to varicella-zoster in CSF may indicate central nervous system infection. However, consideration must be given to possible contamination by blood or transfer of serum antibodies across the blood-brain barrier.
