No, both have a difference. The t-spot. Tb test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of effector t cells that have been specifically activated by mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens and is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (both latent and active disease).
The tb igg/igm rapid test is a sandwich lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of igm anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis (m.tb) and igg anti- m.tb in human serum or plasma.
If IgG is positive that means that you have suffered from infection in the past and you are immune to it. So, you need not worry about it at all. If IgM is negative it means that you don't have any recent infection and so you and your baby are doing well. Relax!

No, it doesn't mean that. HSV 1 causes oral herpes and HSV2 causes genital herpes. IgM denotes current infection and IgG shows past infection.
Best wishes.
A positive test is 1.0 or higher. That means you have rubella antibodies in your blood and are immune to future infection.
Babies can't get IgM antibodies from their moms, so if a newborn has a positive test, they were infected before or just after birth. A mother's IgG antibodies may protect her baby during pregnancy and for a few months after they're born.
So don’t worry your baby is fine.
