Description
Immediate early antigens (IEA) appear in the cell nucleus as early as one hour after infection and serve as a mediator of the onset of an acute infectious process, triggering the production of specific antibodies. The test is intended for the detection of class G or M immunoglobulins to the immediate early protein and can be used for the diagnosis of primary (up to 14 days from the moment of infection) and recurrent cytomegalovirus infection.
Indications for testing:
1. Screening examination before and during pregnancy
2. Prenatal diagnosis of intrauterine infection
3. Patients with HIV infection or immunodeficiency of other etiology
4. Clinical picture of infectious mononucleosis, but with negative heterohemagglutination reactions
5. Casual sexual contacts
