What is Zika Virus Antibodies IgG and IgM?

This blood test checks for two types of antibodies (IgG and IgM) produced by your immune system in response to a Zika virus infection. IgM antibodies indicate a recent infection, while IgG antibodies suggest a past infection.

Why is this test important?

Detecting these antibodies is vital for identifying recent or past Zika exposure, especially for pregnant individuals due to the risk of birth defects. It helps in assessing the immune response and guiding public health measures.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is required for this blood test. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
