What is the definition or description of: herpes simplex igm?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Herpes infection?: Igm antibodies are produced in response to a current infection. These antibodies produced by plasma cells are armed with 10 extensions to catch and kill the invading agents compared to two arms for igg antibodies. If herpes simplex igm antibody in blood is positive it means that there was a recent infection or there is a current active infection. I hope this was helpful.
