The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2, IgM is a blood test done to detect the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and type 2, which causes oral and genital herpes respectively. This test is primarily used for the diagnosis of a current or recent HSV infection, as IgM are the first antibodies produced by the immune system in the initial stage of the infection. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Howrah.
