Know more about this test
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1, IgM is a blood test done to determine the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1. These antibodies indicate current or recent infection, as these are the first antibodies produced by the immune system in the initial stage of the infection. This test helps in the diagnosis of recent HSV 1 infection which can cause oral herpes (cold sores) and less commonly genital herpes. This test is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Kolkata.
