COVID-19 IgM and IgG antibody testing, also known as serology testing, checks for 2 types of antibodies called immunoglobulin M(IgM) and G(IgG).
If you have been exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19, your body typically produces IgM antibodies first and then IgG antibodies as part of the immune response to the virus.
It can take up to five days to develop IgM and up to 90 days to make IgG antibodies.
This type of COVID-19 test is for individuals who think they may have been exposed to or had COVID-19 and do not currently have symptoms.
This test is offered through our office and includes the blood draw and a report of findings. If needed a phone consult with the doctor is included to answer any questions the patient may have.
This test is not an at-home test.
This test does not tell you if you have an active COVID-19 infection.
This test is 99% accurate and results are delivered in 48-72 hours.
