The Hepatitis A Virus – IgM Antibodies (HAV IgM) test measures IgM class antibodies produced by the immune system during the early and acute phase of Hepatitis A virus infection.
IgM antibodies typically appear shortly before symptoms begin and remain detectable for several weeks to months. A positive HAV IgM result confirms recent or ongoing Hepatitis A infection, making this test crucial for early diagnosis, patient management, outbreak control, and public health surveillance. Unlike HAV IgG, this test does not indicate long-term immunity.
