HantaVirus Antibodies - IgM Questions

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. An index value above 1.1 is considered positive, but some experts regard values less than 3.5 as “low positive” and recommend a confirmatory test such as the hsv western blot, long considered the gold standard with regards to accuracy and consistency of results. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

It is better if solid food is avoided unless the person feels very hungry. •as the person’s appetite gets better, semi-solid foods can be given. Boiled rice, baked potato, soft-boiled or poached eggs, baked apple, yoghurt, vegetable soup can be given. •when you are free from the fever, fruits, boiled vegetables and unrefined foods like unpolished rice and white bread can be included. •a typhoid recovery diet plan should include yogurt and eggs, as they are easier to digest than meat and provide adequate protein. For vegetarians, lentils, legumes and cottage cheese, meet the protein needs.

It can add on the stress on your digestive system. •avoid vegetables like cabbage, capsicum and turnip as these can cause bloating and gas. •stay away from oily foods, spices and seasonings like pepper, cayenne and chilli powder to make sure that the digestive tract does not inflame all the more.

Hi mam, igm antibodies is the first antibody, made by body to fight against new infection by bacteria and virus. If your report suggest igm is reactive and igg is negative means your body got infected by new infection which was not in past. Whereas igg positive but igm negative suggest that the person had an infection in the past. Platelets count ranges from 150000 to 450000, which means you have a count in a range. So not to worry much. Your doctor who had given you a blood test to be done, will provide a treatment based on your blood report, physical examination and symptoms. Please do consult with him.

Yes upto 4 days of dengue only ns1 is positive and igg and igm are negative thereafter ns1 become negative and igm start towards positive side.

Each person may have dengue fever four times in life. If you have dengue for the first time, that person may be infected three times more by the rest of the dengue virus, however, it is very rare to have the disease again the fourth time. If a person has dengue 2 times, the culprit is usually the other virus. As a result, two antibodies of different types of bacteria coexist in the human body, which aggravates the disease. Platelets are tiny cells in your blood that repair damaged blood vessels and stop bleeding after injuries. Having a higher or lower number of wbcs than normal may indicate an underlying condition. A wbc count can detect hidden infections within your body and alert doctors to undiagnosed medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, and blood disorders. This test also helps us monitor the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiation treatment in people with cancer.

Dengue ns1 antigen is positive means detected in serum of patients in very early phase, even on 1st day of dengue fever and disappeared within a week. The antibodies mostly appear after 4-5 days of dengue fever. Igg is present in acute infection. And igm can persists for much longer durations even for months or more.
