What is Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgM?

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgM is used to diagnose active infection by detecting the pathogen or infection-specific antibodies in the blood or other sample. Accurate identification of the organism is essential for prescribing the right treatment.

What does Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgM measure?

The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgM test measures IgM antibodies the body makes against HSV-1. IgM antibodies often appear early after a new or recent infection. This makes the test useful for identifying acute or recent HSV-1 infections. The specific marker measured depends on the test your doctor has ordered. A blood sample is typically drawn from a vein in the arm and processed through NABL-accredited laboratory equipment. Results are compared against established reference ranges for your age and gender.
