This test is used to detect Ig M antibodies. Ig M is usually the first antibody produced by the immune system during an infection. A positive IgM indicates that you may be infected or have been vaccinated recently and that your body has responded to the infection / vaccination. If IgM is detected, it indicates that you may still be infected or have recovered recently from the infection.
