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.
