The Virogen CMV Antibody Test is a simple and rapid latex agglutination assay for the detection of cytomegalovirus antibody in human serum and plasma. Evaluation of this assay with respect to enzyme immunoassay yielded a sensitivity of 98% with a specificity of 100%. In comparison to CMVScan, the Virogen CMV Antibody Test had a sensitivity of 98.4% and a specificity of 100%.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
