First off, chicken pox is usually diagnosed during a physical exam and no fancy testing is necessary. However, if a titer for varicella-zoster has been drawn for whatever reason.

What is the normal range for varicella-zoster virus?
I don't believe there is such a thing. Either you have not been exposed, are actively exposed or have prior exposure. If you have the active disease, you will have IgM antibodies READ MORE
I don't believe there is such a thing. Either you have not been exposed, are actively exposed or have prior exposure. If you have the active disease, you will have IgM antibodies for VZV in your serum. If you have been exposed, you have IgG antibodies for VZV in your serum. If you get reactivated, like develop shingles, I believe you would have both antibodies, but I am not certain about that. Reactivation is usually diagnosed by the rash and not testing antibodies for VZV. At this point in your life, don't worry about VZV unless you have physical symptoms.

Wearing a catheter or other device too long and not taken care of it. It is important at this point to get her treated for the blood infection. Would be nice to know exactly what happened, but not enough to delay treatment. Good luck
