Chikungunya Test Overview
IgM antibodies are the first line of defense against infections; hence, detecting them helps in identifying exposure to the virus. The Chikungunya IgM Antibody test is a blood test used to diagnose a recent Chikungunya virus infection. It detects IgM antibodies, which are proteins your body produces in the early stages of fighting off an infection. A positive IgM test typically indicates a current or very recent Chikungunya infection, while a negative test suggests you likely don't have it. The test is most effective within the first week of symptoms, and doctors may recommend repeat testing later to confirm the results.
