What is the Leptospira Antibody IgM & IgG Test?
The Leptospira Antibody IgM & IgG test detects antibodies (IgM and IgG) against Leptospira bacteria in the blood. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection transmitted from animals to humans, often through contaminated water or direct contact with infected animals. This test helps diagnose recent or past infections by measuring the body’s immune response.
Purpose of the Leptospira Antibody IgM & IgG Test:
Diagnose Acute and Past Leptospirosis:
- IgM Antibodies: Indicate a recent or current infection, usually appearing within a few days of exposure.
- IgG Antibodies: Indicate past exposure or late-stage infection, often appearing after IgM and persisting longer.
Assess Infection Severity:
- Helps in evaluating the stage and severity of the infection, aiding in clinical decision-making and treatment planning.
Guide Treatment Decisions:
- The presence of IgM and IgG antibodies can guide healthcare providers in determining the appropriate treatment for both acute and chronic cases.
Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).
Preparation for the Test:
- Fasting: Fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink normally unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
- Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as they may influence your immune response.
Collection Method:
- A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect and quantify IgM and IgG antibodies against Leptospira.
