Cytomegalovirus igg positive

In cytomegalovirus infection progresses, the herpes virus leads to inflammatory processes in the salivary glands. The virus is considered contagious when detection during pregnancy by contact with the placenta, sexual contact or through kissing, also as a result of organ transplantation and blood transfusion. Cytomegalovirus iqq positive can lead to infection of the fetus during the passage through the birth canal when the mother is infected in the later stages. Often asymptomatic at the time of the infection outward signs are similar to ordinary herpes rash on the skin.

If not promptly treated, the disease can lead to serious complications and relapses.

Cytomegalovirus positive iqq able to Express themselves not only externally (in the form of herpes) but also internally, leading to the defeat of the internal organs, nervous system, decreased immunity.

The disease is insidious because it occurs in a latent form, but the infected easily prevented with the symptoms of the disease are simply not available. For this reason, doctors are not always able to take timely appropriate measures for treatment.

Cytomegalovirus infection – pre-season disease breaks out in spring and autumn, amid the cold and depressed immunity, has a changeable character, then being replaced by remissions, relapses. Diagnostics revealed a positive result. Some time the virus resides in a latent sleeping state, begins to progress, antivirus on the background of reduced immunity. Manifests itself in full measure, leading to the defeat of many vital organs.

Transmission of the virus

Not so long ago it was believed that the cytomegalovirus positive iqq is passed only sexual by or through a kiss when the lips appear unsightly cold sores. Today proved that everyday situations can cause the development of cytomegalovirus, i.e. the use of shared utensils, towels or the presence of small wounds and abrasions on the skin, through which penetrates the virus, leading to infection.

Often there is a flash iqq to cytomegalovirus in children with fragile immune systems, are at the stage of formation or in pregnant women and the elderly. At this time nothing prevents the rapid penetration of the body, thereby forming a human carrier of the virus.

Symptoms often occur on the background of vitamin deficiency or immune problems, also with a cold.

If the child is often sick, adults with more robust immunity almost not complain of any symptoms. The babies have the same fever, without runny nose and sore throat, on the struggle of the immune system with foreign bodies, antibody formation in the body, as it is programming in the production of the desired substances are able to resist viruses.

What is the cytomegalovirus?

Externally, the cytomegalovirus positive iqq looks like the common cold, acute respiratory infections or influenza. The patient has a:

• rhinitis,
• rise in temperature,
• soreness in the throat,
• enlargement of lymph nodes.

All the symptoms resemble mononucleosis syndrome, but unlike other respiratory infections cytomegalovirus becomes protracted. If the duration of a cold less than 7 days, the occurrence of CMV infection can reach 1.5 months, and in contrast to conventional respiratory virus infection leads to inflammation of the salivary glands on the background of active reproduction in them or inflammation of the sex glands, the testes, the urethra in men or the ovaries or the uterus in women.

Cytomegalovirus infection in men with localization in the urogenital system during the incubation period has no symptoms. But the disease is quite long. At disperse infection 6 type begins to emerge only after 1.5-2 months after primary infection.

The most at risk of Contracting cytomegalovirus infection, HIV+, immunocompromised, or have undergone earlier transplant of organs. Especially dangerous cytomegalovirus igg positive pregnant women with decreased immunity. High probability of penetration of the virus through the placenta or birth canal, which can lead to spontaneous abortion, development abnormalities in the fetus. And infection can occur at the time of labour during the passage of the fetus through the birth canal or through breastfeeding on the background of complications. In cases of the birth of a healthy but premature baby infection is only possible in 6-8 months after birth.

Asperformed diagnosis?

Today, the cytomegalovirus igg positive is diagnosed by carrying out 2 methods: PCR and ELISA, by identifying antibodies in the blood for each microorganism separately, the study of the immune response against the penetration of bacteria.

By decoding the analysis the result is positive, that indicates human infection. Usually at the 3-4 week elevated level of antibodies is above the norm 4 times. Cytomegalovirus infection quickly aktiviziruyutsya begins to emerge in the form of a cold.

The most accurate analysis doctors believe after all immunoassays that can identify the presence of virus in the urine or in the secret of the vagina in the presence of serous discharge in women, extending from the cervix. In the semen of men cytomegalovirus class iqq also survives well, quickly activated, leading to primary infection.

Almost 90% of people revealed antibodies to cytomegalovirus primary iqq and this is the norm. Pathology the presence of the virus in the valid values can not be named because it is identified in most people, especially in children under 6 years. Primary infection is diagnosed in the offseason, almost everyone on the background of reduced immunity.

Children and pregnant women who do not have a stable immune system, it is recommended to avoid contact with virus carriers because of the long incubation period of the virus. Although all adults on the planet are carriers of cytomegalovirus infection. Detection of antibodies of class q is talking about primary or secondary infection with cytomegalovirus.

It iqq cmv diagnostics allows to establish the degree of occurrence of inflammatory process and only the timely treatment will reduce the duration of flow of infectious process, prevent its transition into the chronic form.

If iqq CMV positive?

This indicates the presence of pathogens in the blood, although a positive result may be in his absence. Positive antibodies iqq analysis indicates contact with a carrier of cytomegalovirus by reason of the fact that immunoglobulin in the blood have multiple classes, each responsible for certain functions in the immune system. Some are struggling with the virus, the other destroys them, and others lead to the activation of inflammatory and detoxification reactions in the body.

During diagnosis for cytomegalovirus infection to account for antibody class 2: CMV positive and iqm class iqq. What differences in the indices between these two immunoglobulins allow to obtain reliable information after identifying the concentration of immunoglobulins in the blood. But these diagnostic methods do not lead to salvation, if the patient has cytomegalovirus infection iqm positive because of the preservation of the virus in the intracellular space. The reproduction of the virus during replication of DNA indicates the disease process and depression of immune immune system.

When CMV igm is positive, it indicates the development of infection in the acute phase, when blood is full of strong concentration at.

When shown holding iqq?

CMV dangerous for children and pregnant women with a weakened immune system, for cancer patients, HIV infected. For these patients the appearance of even slight symptoms of cold should be a cause of treatment to the doctors. With the appearance of unpleasant symptoms the analysis is carried out immediately:

• fever, increased high temperature,
• suspected pneumonia.

Preparation for conducting this study is to collect material from the urethra in men in the morning. It is recommended not to urinate for 2 hours prior to urine collection.

Women have not taken analysis in the menstrual cycle.

If positive at cytomegalovirus in young children up to 2 years, it may have been congenital or acquired infection, from which depend all the subsequent clinical picture.

Congenital disease happens when infection of the fetus in the womb, when women have no antibodies iqq designed to deal with these viruses. If a positive iqq to cytomegalovirus at the newborn, we can assume the infection at the time of passage through the birth canal.

Acquired forms of the disease occur in children visit kindergartens or schools in the period of the epidemic, when there is an outbreak of a viral infection.

Than cytomegalovirus threat?

If antibodies to cytomegalovirus iqq positive the child immediately after birth, it indicates intrauterine infection. If infants are breastfeeding and protected by a strong immune system of the mother, the symptoms may not be.

Same for congenital cytomegalovirus infection cmv at iqq protective forces of an organism of the baby is not able to cope with the onslaught of such infections. Possible complications of pneumonia, the appearance of petechiae on the skin of the skin jaundice, chorioretinitis. An urgent need to treat at least the appearance of one of these signs, and also boost immunity, help with personal hygiene, the apply of herbal immunomodulators in the composition of ginseng and Echinacea.

If you plan a transplant or a blood transfusion, you must definitely need to take a test for determination of igg antibodies toiqq cytomegalovirus CMV. If the result is positive will be picked up by another analogue of therapeutic drugs after blood transfusion.

How to decipher the result?

If the level of anti bodies in the analysis does not exceed 50%, it is likely that the primary infection. If the index is 60%, it is likely that the chronic form, or the patient is a carrier of the infection. In the presence of average (50 to 60%), the situation becomes uncertain, therefore, assigned to the re-testing in 2-3 weeks. If there is a negative, and no antibodies to cytomegalovirus igg, it means that infection with cytomegalovirus is not, although it can be in almost any liquid environment in the body: saliva, mucus, urine, blood.

To detect viral infection is not enough by taking only one blood, therefore, often investigated saliva, semen and even vaginal in women. Only the taking of the samples will indicate the virus-infected cells, while igg antibodies with a positive at just huge. In the presence of specific antibodies in the blood formed as a result of the body's fight against viruses indicate early infection viruses.

Recognition of the type of immunoglobulin will identify primary or secondary infection is also possible relapses of infection. Further examination subject to PCR and ELISA analysis to obtain reliable detection results and detection of class iqq. For this investigated the analysis of vaginal smear, a sample of amniotic fluid. In case of positive result, the virus g class progresses, in the absence of PCR mucous relapse at the moment.

Only the correct interpretation of the results of the analysis will eliminate unnecessary anxiety that are often present in pregnant women, and also assign needed drugs for treatment, if still at class q and cmv igg positive.

The testing for cytomegalovirus igg class is considered mandatory for HIV - positive and pregnant. Monitoring for contamination is carried out continuously. When activated the virus during pregnancy can occur the infection of the fetus, leading to his death in the first days of pregnancy.

With this virus to fight hard and eliminate from the body completely is almost impossible. Medicines can only be achieved sustained remission, lull the virus at the time. But it is difficult to assume when there will be activated, therefore, in the period of outbreak of influenza, SARS, acute respiratory infections, CMV should be treated with caution and use all means of protection, masks, vaccines, cough and cold remedies.
