Test Details
The Coxsackie antibody IgM test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against the Coxsackie virus in the blood. Coxsackie viruses are a group of viruses that can cause various infections, including hand, foot, and mouth disease, as well as myocarditis and meningitis.
IgM antibodies are the first type of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an infection. Detecting IgM antibodies can help determine if a person has a recent or current infection with the Coxsackie virus.
The test involves taking a blood sample from the individual and analyzing it in a laboratory. If the test is positive for Coxsackie IgM antibodies, it indicates that the person has been recently infected with the virus. A negative result suggests the absence of recent or current infection.
It is important to note that the Coxsackie IgM test alone cannot be used to diagnose a specific disease caused by the Coxsackie virus. Additional clinical information and other tests may be needed for a definitive diagnosis.
