What is Coccidioides immitis Antibodies IgG and IgM?
This test detects specific IgG and IgM antibodies produced by your immune system in response to an infection with Coccidioides immitis, the fungus responsible for Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis).
Why is this test important?
The presence of IgM antibodies typically indicates a recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies suggest a past infection or a later stage of the disease. This helps diagnose Valley Fever and monitor its progression.
