The Chikungunya IgM test detects the presence of IgM antibodies produced in response to the Chikungunya virus infection. IgM antibodies typically appear within 3-5 days after infection and can persist for several months. This test helps confirm recent or acute Chikungunya virus infection, aiding in diagnosis and patient management.
