Leptospira IgM Test Interpretation:
The intensity of the line depends upon the stage of the disease and the titres of the antibodies in the test specimen
As specific antibodies reach detectable levels about one week after the onset of disease, a sample collected very early may yield a negative test result
If the test is negative and if Leptospirosis is still suspected, the test should be repeated with the second sample collected at a later date in conjunction with clinical re-examination
It is recommended that the positive results obtained must be reconfirmed using a confirmatory test
The results must be correlated with clinical findings to arrive at the diagnosis
