What does this test Meningitis IgM Panel identify?

Meningitis IgM Panel

The Meningitis IgM Panel is a diagnostic test that identifies the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood. IgM antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to an infection, specifically meningitis.

This panel helps to differentiate between viral and bacterial causes of meningitis, as bacterial meningitis is typically more severe and requires immediate treatment with antibiotics. By detecting IgM antibodies, healthcare providers can determine the type of infection causing meningitis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
