Service Providers for CSF for Anti TB IgM
CSF for Anti-TB IgM detects IgM antibodies specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid, useful for early detection of tuberculous meningitis. CSF is obtained via lumbar puncture and analyzed using immunoassays. Preparation requires fasting and sterile precautions. Risks include headache, infection, or bleeding from the procedure. Positive results indicate a possible acute TB infection but should be interpreted alongside clinical findings, as false positives or negatives may occur due to antibody variability or prior treatment.
