Test Details
The PARVOVIRUS B19 ANTIBODY IgM test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against Parvovirus B19 in the bloodstream. Parvovirus B19 is a common viral infection that primarily affects children but can also affect adults.
The test is typically ordered if a healthcare provider suspects that a person has recently been infected with Parvovirus B19. It can be used to diagnose conditions such as fifth disease (a common childhood illness) or to monitor individuals with weakened immune systems.
IgM antibodies are the first antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a new infection. A positive result for Parvovirus B19 IgM antibodies indicates a recent or current infection. However, it is important to note that a positive IgM result does not necessarily mean that the person is currently experiencing symptoms of the infection.
If the test result is positive, additional testing may be done to confirm the diagnosis and determine the stage of the infection. Treatment for Parvovirus B19 infection is typically focused on managing symptoms, as the infection usually resolves on its own without complications.
