chicken pox IgM high in pregnancy with no symptoms .

chicken pox IgM high in pregnancy with no symptoms .

hello,
I am 16 weeks pregnant, the varicella titres came high during the TORCH screening. but I have no fever or rash.was vaccinated for chickenpox at age 9.the values are below. Are there any chances that my baby can be affected? What is the reason for the high value of IgM in the absence of any clinical infection?

varicella zoster Ig M = 2.12 HI    1.09

Referance interval: varicella zoster antibody, IgM
0.90 ISR or less.........negative- no significant level of detectable varicella zoster virus IgM antibody.
0.91-1.09 ISR .............equivocal- repeat testing in 10- 14 days may be helpful.
1.10 ISR or greater........positive- significant level of detectable varicella zoster virus IgM antibody.indicative of current or recent infection.however, low levels of Ig M antibodies may ocassionally persist more than 12 months post infection or immunisation.

any information will be very helpful. Thanks!

I'm sorry but this is the herpes simplex forum, not the herpes zoster forum.

I'd assume this is a false positive but you need to discuss your results with your obgyn.
