Interpretive

Reference Range:
0.90 IV or less Negative - No significant level of detectable Parvovirus B19 IgG antibody
0.91-1.09 IV Equivocal - Repeat testing in 7-21 days may be helpful.
1.10 IV or greater Positive - IgG antibody to Parvovirus B19 detected which may indicate a current or past infection.
Seroconversion between acute and convalescent sera is considered strong evidence of current or recent infection. The best evidence for infection is a significant change on two appropriately timed specimens, where both tests are done in the same laboratory at the same time.
