The Aspergillus antibody IgM serum test is a blood test that measures the levels of IgM antibodies specific to Aspergillus in the bloodstream. Aspergillus is a type of fungus that can cause infections in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying lung conditions. The test is used to diagnose or monitor Aspergillus infections, such as invasive aspergillosis.
IgM antibodies are the first type of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an infection. Elevated levels of IgM antibodies to Aspergillus may indicate a current or recent infection. The test is typically ordered if a healthcare provider suspects an Aspergillus infection based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and risk factors.
It may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment or to determine if a patient has developed immunity to Aspergillus. It is important to note that this test measures IgM antibodies specifically and may not detect IgG or IgA antibodies, which are other types of antibodies that may be present in response to an Aspergillus infection. Therefore, additional tests may be needed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the immune response to Aspergillus.
