Results are reported as levels of adenovirus-specific IgG antibodies, indicating past exposure to adenovirus infection.
What is the test?
This test evaluates the levels of IgG antibodies specific to adenovirus, indicating previous exposure to adenovirus infection.
Test Procedure:
Blood is drawn from the patient, and the levels of adenovirus-specific IgG antibodies are measured in the laboratory.
When to take the test:
Recommended for evaluating past exposure to adenovirus infection.
Who should take the test:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Anti-Adenovirus IgG Test:
Q1: Can Anti-Adenovirus IgG levels diagnose an ongoing adenovirus infection?
A: Anti-Adenovirus IgG levels indicate past exposure and immunity to adenovirus but cannot diagnose an active infection. Additional tests are required for active infection diagnosis.
Q2: Are Anti-Adenovirus IgG levels useful for diagnosing recent infections?
A: High levels of Anti-Adenovirus IgG antibodies suggest previous exposure, but they might not specify the timing of the infection.
Q3: Can Anti-Adenovirus IgG levels indicate immunity to adenovirus?
A: Elevated levels of Anti-Adenovirus IgG antibodies indicate past exposure and potential immunity to subsequent adenovirus infections.
Q4: Do Anti-Adenovirus IgG levels decrease over time?
A: Anti-Adenovirus IgG levels might decrease over time but usually persist to some degree, indicating previous exposure.
Q5: Is fasting necessary before an Anti-Adenovirus IgG test?
A: Fasting is typically not required for the Anti-Adenovirus IgG test, but specific instructions might vary. Follow any guidelines provided by the healthcare provider or testing facility.
*Please note that specific testing protocols and guidelines may vary based on the latest recommendations from health authorities and regulatory agencies. It is essential to consult healthcare professionals and follow local testing guidelines for accurate and appropriate testing.
