The Leptospira IgM Antibody Test is a serological blood test used to detect the presence of IgM class antibodies against the Leptospira bacteria, the causative agent of Leptospirosis. This is a critical test for diagnosing the disease in its early stages.
IgM antibodies are the first class of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an acute infection. They typically become detectable about 5 to 10 days after the onset of symptoms and are indicative of a current or recent infection.
Leptospirosis is a serious, often biphasic, disease, and timely diagnosis using IgM detection is crucial for initiating appropriate antibiotic therapy.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we offer reliable serological testing for the early diagnosis of Leptospirosis.
