COXSACKIE ANTIBODIES IgG and IgM PANEL Test
Test Cost: AED 730.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The Coxsackie antibodies IgG & IgM panel test is a blood test that detects the presence of antibodies against Coxsackie viruses in the body. Coxsackie viruses are a group of viruses that belong to the enterovirus family and can cause various illnesses, including hand, foot, and mouth disease, as well as viral meningitis.
The test measures two types of antibodies: IgG and IgM. IgG antibodies are produced by the immune system after a previous infection or vaccination and provide long-term immunity. IgM antibodies are the first antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a recent infection and are usually present during the acute phase of the illness.
The Coxsackie antibodies IgG & IgM panel test is used to determine if a person has been previously infected with Coxsackie viruses or is currently experiencing an active infection. It can help diagnose Coxsackie virus infections, especially in cases where symptoms are unclear or the infection is suspected but not confirmed.
The test involves taking a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.
It is important to note that a positive result for Coxsackie antibodies does not necessarily mean a person is currently infected or experiencing symptoms. It indicates previous exposure or infection. Interpretation of the results should be done in conjunction with a person’s symptoms and medical history.
