Medical Conditions - Igm Positive

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the first antibody produced when the body is exposed to a new infection. It is present in blood and lymph. Positive IgM indicates that the body is exposed and has started responding to the entry of some pathogen like virus or bacteria. IgM gives a positive result even when the body has recently recovered from the infection.
