About this test

The Neurological Viral Screen at Getchecked Clinic in Dubai measures selected viral antibodies in a blood sample. The panel includes IgG and IgM measurements for measles, mumps and herpes simplex viruses, plus IgG measurements for cytomegalovirus and varicella-zoster virus.

Results require clinical interpretation alongside symptoms, medical history and any other relevant investigations. Antibody results alone do not diagnose a neurological infection or reliably establish when an infection occurred. This panel is not a substitute for clinical assessment of neurological symptoms.

What’s included

Measles antibodies: IgG and IgM
Mumps virus antibodies: IgG and IgM
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1): IgG and IgM
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2): IgG and IgM
Cytomegalovirus (CMV): IgG
Varicella-zoster virus: IgG

Discuss whether this panel is appropriate for your symptoms with your clinician before booking. Ask the team about preparation and how the results timeframe applies to your appointment. Sudden or severe neurological symptoms require urgent medical assessment rather than a routine screening appointment.
