THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the parvovirus B19 IgM test results
A positive parvovirus B19 IgM result indicates an acute or a recent infection. If you are pregnant and your result is positive, your health and foetus’ health will be examined regularly using ultrasounds.
Moreover, a positive result can also occur due to the presence of some other disease. If the sample contains antinuclear antibodies or antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus, the parvovirus B19 IgM test result can be positive.
A negative parvovirus B19 IgM result does not necessarily mean the absence of parvovirus IgM antibodies. It may signify a weakened immune system, which failed to produce sufficient IgM antibodies against the parvovirus B19 infection. Thus, sometimes, the levels of antibodies might be low due to the improper functioning of the immune system and hence, these could not have gotten detected using the parvovirus B19 IgM test. A confirmatory test can be done after two-three weeks.
The parvovirus B19 IgM test result can also be negative in case the test was done before the production of the IgM antibodies or after they started to decline.
