Overview:

What is this test?

This laboratory test is performed on a blood sample to detect the presence of Chikungunya (IgM) antibodies. Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by Chikungunya virus.

Why is this test performed?

This test is performed:

  1. To detect the presence of Anti-Chikungunya antibodies (IgM)
  2. To find an active or past Chikungunya infection.
  • Collecting sample: A healthcare professional will collect blood from your vein into the test tube or from the heel stick, in the case of infants.
  • The sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis.
  1. What are the symptoms of Chikungunya infection?
  • Fever
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Joint pain
  • Headache
  • Skin rashes
  • Conjunctivitis

 

  1. How to treat Chikungunya infection?

Currently there is no treatment or vaccine available for Chikungunya infection. Doctors recommend pain killers and fever medicines to relieve the symptoms.

 

  1. How to prevent Chikungunya infection?
  • Stay away from stagnant water
  • Use mosquito repellents
  • Cover your entire body
  • Avoid travelling to Chikungunya endemic areas.

 

  1. What are the risks of this test?

Collecting blood from a vein is a very easy procedure and pose only minimum risk, including:

  • Bruising
  • Bleeding
  • Infection

 

  1. How to prepare for this test?

No special preparations are required for this test. Inform your doctor about your complete medical and drug history. Wear a short-sleeved or loose shirt to aid the collection of sample.

Negative or positive

  • Interpretation of test results:
  1. Negative: A negative test result means that no significant levels of IgM antibodies were found. However, it does not exclude the possibility of Chikungunya infection.
  2. Positive: A positive test result means presence of significant levels of IgM antibodies in the blood indicating a past or current infection.

You should get tested:

  1. If you have sign and symptoms of Chikungunya infection
  2. If your doctor suspects Chikungunya infection
  3. If you have traveled to a Chikungunya endemic area.
