VZV measures the markers listed in its panel and reports each value with a reference range. Read on for what the test checks and how to prepare.

What the VZV Screens For

Screening with the VZV can highlight results outside the expected range so they can be reviewed further. This blood IgG test determines whether someone has been vaccinated for the varicella zoster virus (VZV) or previously had chicken pox. The VZV is designed to look at the markers in its panel, and the report shows how each one compares to the reference range. A result outside the range is a signal to follow up with a healthcare provider, not a diagnosis by itself.

Understanding VZV Results and Reference Ranges

Understanding the VZV report starts with matching each value to the range shown beside it. Results for the VZV are written in plain terms with the test name and collection date included. Keeping a copy of the VZV report makes it easier to compare results over time. A healthcare provider can explain what the VZV numbers mean in the context of your health history.

Accuracy and Limitations of the VZV

The VZV is run by a licensed laboratory, and like any test it has limitations. A result from the VZV reflects the sample at the time it was collected and does not capture every factor. The accuracy of the VZV depends on proper sample collection and on the laboratory method used. A value outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own, so the VZV is best interpreted with a provider.
