Indeterminate/moderate IgG avidity during HCMV infection: comparison of methods
Background. The IgG avidity test is usually used for differentiating between primary and non-primary HCMV infection within 3 months. Weak avidity is highly suggestive of a primary infection, while high avidity tends to exclude it.An indeterminate or moderate avidity, however, does not allow a clear...
