A member asked:

Will past chicken pox cause positive igg test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? Igg for Cpx ?: A past chickenpox infection should be evident if a sample is testes for chickenpox igg. As it becomes less common, a positive igg study is likely to be the new standard for proving you had it or got the vaccine and may be required for college entry, work, or other reasons.
