The Measles IgM test identifies the viral infection caused by paramyxovirus, that spreads through respiratory and droplet secretions, as well as contaminated surface contact. Healthcare professionals use this test to diagnose acute measles infections, particularly in cases of suspected exposure or symptoms and guiding appropriate medical management to prevent further spread.
