Understanding Filaria Antibody IgM in Bangalore
What is Filaria Antibody IgM in Bangalore?
This blood test detects IgM antibodies that can help identify filariasis and other infections caused by the parasitic worms of the Filaridea family. The immune system creates IgM antibodies in response to infection; however, a negative result does not necessarily rule out an infection. Other blood tests usually follow a positive result to help identify an infection.
Filariasis is most commonly spread by insects such as mosquitoes and ticks. It typically infects the lymphatic system, which transports waste from the body and helps fight infection. Filariasis may take months to show the symptoms, the most common being thickening and swelling of the skin in the legs. Swelling in other body parts can occur depending on where the infection occurs.
