Understanding Your Results
IgM Positive, IgG Negative
Likely acute or recent infection
IgM Positive, IgG Positive
Recent infection with developing immunity
IgM Negative, IgG Positive
Past infection or immunity
IgM Negative, IgG Negative
No evidence of infection; consider other causes if symptoms persist
If symptoms persist after a negative result, or if results are equivocal, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect very early infections before antibody response
- ⚠False positives possible due to cross-reactivity
- ⚠Cannot differentiate between active infection and past exposure without clinical correlation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor pain or bruising at the puncture site
- ●Rare risk of infection or dizziness
Interfering Factors
- ●Cross-reactivity with other bacterial infections
- ●Timing of sample collection relative to infection onset
- ●Immunocompromised conditions affecting antibody production
