A member asked:
When you treat a cytomegalovirus infection, does the cmv antibody count lower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of: The body has different antibodies in response to any infection. The IgM antibodies usually rise during an active infection and are a sign that the body is fighting something. The igg antibodies are indicators of long term immunity and those remain elevated for the rest of your life.
