The measles (rubeola) antibody IgM test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies specific to the measles virus. IgM antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to a recent infection or vaccination.
This test is primarily used to diagnose acute measles infection, as IgM antibodies are typically present in the blood within a few days to a week after the onset of symptoms. It can also be used to confirm a suspected case of measles in individuals who have not been vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination history.
The test is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. If IgM antibodies specific to the measles virus are detected in the blood, it indicates a recent or ongoing measles infection.
It is important to note that a positive IgM test result does not necessarily mean that the person has an active measles infection. False positives can occur due to cross-reactivity with antibodies from other similar viruses or due to previous vaccination.
If a positive IgM test result is obtained, further testing may be required to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate course of treatment.
