Test Details

Use

Differential diagnosis of acute or recent infection from past infection with human parvovirus associated with erythema infectiosum (fifth disease), aplastic crisis, and fetal infection

Methodology

Enzyme immunoassay (EIA)

Reference Interval

Negative: IgG: <0.9 index, IgM: <0.9 index

Additional Information

IgM antibodies are detectable two weeks after exposure. IgG antibody production usually occurs 18 to 24 days after exposure. The presence of IgM antibodies to parvovirus B19 provide definite evidence of recent infection.
