What is Zika Virus IgM?
Zika Virus IgM are antibodies present in the blood in response to an infection with the Zika virus. This biomarker helps identify recent infections with the Zika virus.
Why have Zika Virus IgM tested?
Testing for Zika Virus IgM is especially useful if you have symptoms similar to a Zika virus infection, such as fever, rash, joint pain, or if you have recently been in an area where the Zika virus is endemic. It is also important for pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant, given the potential risks to the unborn child.
What does it indicate?
The presence of Zika Virus IgM indicators suggests a recent infection with the Zika virus. This can help determine whether recent symptoms are due to Zika and can be important for pregnancy planning and for taking precautions to prevent spread.
What does a high Zika Virus IgM level mean?
A high level of Zika Virus IgM suggests a recent infection with the Zika virus. This means the virus may be active in the body and that measures should be taken to prevent further spread.
What does a low Zika Virus IgM level mean?
A low level of Zika Virus IgM may indicate that no recent infection with the Zika virus has occurred, or that the infection occurred some time ago and the body has responded by producing antibodies.
