Normal report

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

This report is completely normal. Positive IgG and negative IgM means that your body is immune or protected against these infections, as in case of Rubella and Cytomegalovirus in your case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

Thank you so much for quick response. There will be no medicine required for this? My family doctor prescribed "Torchnil capsule" to me, then shall I start on that or not needed. Please give me reply.
