Performing Lab
Coccidioides Antibody (IgM), Immunodiffusion
Also known as: Coccidioides IgM
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Detection of IgM antibodies against Coccidioides by immunodiffusion indicates recent or active infection, supporting diagnosis of early primary coccidioidomycosis.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
IgM antibodies may persist for several months after infection; timing of sample relative to symptom onset may affect detection. Immunodiffusion is qualitative and does not measure titers.
