The normal range for the Chikungunya IgM test is negative
This test can detect the virus around 7-15 days after the infection
Chikungunya is detected through blood tests by identifying the presence of the virus's RNA using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or by detecting chikungunya-specific antibodies (IgM and IgG) through serological tests.
The specific blood tests used for diagnosing chikungunya are the Chikungunya virus-specific IgM and IgG antibody tests, as well as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect viral RNA.
Positive IgM results in a chikungunya test indicate a recent or current infection with the chikungunya virus.
A CBC (Complete Blood Count) report cannot specifically detect chikungunya infection, but it can reveal related changes like low platelet counts and elevated white blood cells, which might indicate an infection or inflammation.
The best time to get tested for chikungunya is within the first week of symptom onset when viral RNA and antibodies are most likely to be detectable.
