4 weeks pregnant..vzv igg antibody test positive? please help..very nervous

Not important: The positive IGG titer indicates prior infection or previous immunization. It is not an issue.

Not to worry.: VZV is varicella zoster virus. IgG is the class of antibodies which cause long-standing immunity. Your result shows you are immune. 1 in 4 adults will get reactivation of the virus, called shingles. Testing for IgM antibodies is most important in pregnancy if IgG neg; if IgM is positive, she has chickenpox with risk of fetal infection, which may cause severe damage before 20 weeks gestation..
