Cytomegalovirus is a common virus that often causes no symptoms in healthy individuals but can lead to serious illness in people with weakened immunity, such as transplant patients, cancer patients, and newborns. This test helps your doctor determine if the infection is active and how severe it is, ensuring timely treatment and better outcomes.
