How can the IgM antibody test help travellers?
IgM antibody test refers to the immunoglobulin test which is used to level different antibodies that are present in your blood. These antibodies are created by one’s body to shield it from the attack of harmful allergens, viruses or bacteria.
Immunoglobulin tests are used to determine whether the patient has a trace of covid infection.
