Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Reference Range:
IgG <1:320
IgM <1:20
Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), a close relative of HHV-6, is found in >85% of the population, with transmission occurring in early childhood. Like HHV-6, HHV-7 is a cause of exanthem subitum (roseola infantum). Due to the ubiquitous nature of HHV-7 infection, >80% of individuals in the general population exhibit HHV-7 IgG titers >or=1:20; however, only 5% of these individuals exhibit titers >1:320. Thus, HHV-7 IgG titers > 1:320 are suggestive of recent HHV-7 infection. Detection of HHV-7 specific IgM is also indicative of recent infection.
