Cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing is used to determine whether someone with signs and symptoms has an active CMV infection. Sometimes it may be ordered to help determine whether someone had a prior CMV infection.CMV is a common virus that occurs widely throughout the population but rarely causes noticeable symptoms or significant health problems. However, primary CMV infection may cause serious illness and complications in newborns and people with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients, cancer patients, people receiving immunosuppressive drugs, and people with HIV. (See the "What is being tested/" section for more on this.)There are a few different methods of detecting a CMV infection. The choice of tests and samples collected depends on the age of the person, their general health status and symptoms, and on the health practitioner's clinical findings and suspicions of organ involvement.
