Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
CMV means Cyto Megalo Virus.
IgG and IgM are protective antibodies. IgG suggests past (old) infection. IgM suggests recent infection.
Your wife is having IgG positive means she might had CMV infection in the past. Her IgM is negative so no need to worry for recent or active infection.
So no need to worry for CMV IgG reactive.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
