    What is Leptospira IgM antibodies by EIA - Serum Test?

    The Leptospira IgM test is used to identify antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to an infection caused by Leptospira bacteria. These gram-negative bacteria cause leptospirosis, a condition often seen in tropical climates. The bacteria spread through the urine of infected animals, such as dogs or rodents, entering the human body via broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes.

    Once inside the body, the bacteria travel through the bloodstream during the first week of infection, triggering symptoms such as fever, headache, and muscle soreness. During this period, the immune system produces IgM antibodies to combat the infection. These antibodies are detectable in the early stages of the illness and remain present for approximately 2–3 months.

    The Leptospira IgM test is critical for detecting leptospirosis during its initial phase, typically within the first week of symptom onset. It is a faster diagnostic tool than bacterial culture, which often requires weeks to deliver results. Early identification of the disease ensures that treatment can commence promptly, minimizing the risk of complications.

    If you are in Delhi and have encountered contaminated soil or water, or if you are showing symptoms like fever and muscle discomfort, getting a Leptospira IgM test in Delhi is crucial for early and effective treatment.

    Leptospira IgM antibodies by EIA - Serum Test Parameters

    The Leptospira IgM antibody test identifies a single parameter: the detection of IgM antibodies specific to Leptospira bacteria in the bloodstream.

    These IgM antibodies typically emerge 4-5 days after the onset of symptoms and persist for up to five months, making this test highly effective for early-stage leptospirosis diagnosis.

    Leptospirosis progresses in two stages: the acute phase, lasting 3-7 days and marked by symptoms such as headaches and muscle pain, and the later phase, occurring after the second week, when the bacteria exit the bloodstream.

    While PCR testing is effective for detecting the bacteria within the first five days of infection, the IgM test plays a critical role in early detection and initiation of treatment. Additionally, it supports monitoring during outbreaks and is a dependable diagnostic tool for confirming leptospirosis when proper sample collection and storage protocols are followed.

    Leptospira IgM antibodies by EIA - Serum Test Preparation

    When booking a Leptospira IgM test, take note of the following:

    Prerequisites

    Fasting is not required for taking the Leptospira IgM test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    There is no specific time for Leptospira IgM test, so it can be scheduled whenever you want.

    Who Should Get a Leptospira IgM Test?

    Leptospira IgM test is suitable for those showing symptoms like fever, muscle stiffness, or jaundice following contact with contaminated water, soil, or animal urine. It is also important for individuals regularly exposed to animals such as pigs, cows, or rodents, particularly in flood-prone locations.

    Cautions Before Taking Leptospira IgM Test

    No preparatory measures or precautions are necessary before going for the Leptospira IgM test.

    Why Take the Leptospira IgM antibodies by EIA - Serum Test?

    The Leptospira IgM test is suggested if:

    • You are experiencing symptoms like fever, body aches, headaches, nausea, vomiting, or yellowing of the skin after contact with contaminated soil, water, or animal urine.

    • Your symptoms began over six days ago, as IgM antibodies can be detected starting from this point. The accuracy of the test improves after this duration.

    • You are currently in the second phase of the illness, during which IgM antibody levels become high enough for detection. This is the most reliable period for confirming a recent infection through blood tests.

    • You reside in or have recently travelled to flood-prone or rainfall-heavy areas where water contamination by Leptospira bacteria is more likely to occur.

    • You have been in contact with animals like pigs, dogs, cattle, or rodents that might carry and spread the bacteria through their urine, even if they do not show visible signs of illness.

    In any of these situations, undergoing the Leptospira IgM test is crucial to diagnose the infection accurately and start treatment promptly.

    • Very good Experience

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
