The Chikungunya IgM antibody test is a serological blood test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against the Chikungunya virus, indicating a recent or current infection. Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral disease characterized by sudden onset fever, severe joint pain, muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue, and rash. IgM antibodies typically appear within 4–7 days of symptom onset and remain detectable for several weeks. Early detection through this test helps in differentiating Chikungunya from other similar viral infections, such as dengue or Zika, guiding appropriate clinical management, patient monitoring, and outbreak control measures.
