HSV lgM

HSV lgM

HSV IgM (Herpes Simplex Virus IgM) is a blood test used to detect IgM antibodies that may develop in response to HSV infection. It may be considered when symptoms such as blisters, sores, or other signs of herpes infection are present. However, HSV IgM testing has limitations and cannot reliably distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 or confirm a recent infection. Results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional along with symptoms and other appropriate tests.
