Interpretation
IgM and IgG Negative:
-No serologic evidence of exposure to Chikungunya virus. Repeat testing on a new specimen collected in 5 to 10 days is recommended if clinical suspicion persists.
IgM and IgG Positive:
-IgM and IgG antibodies to Chikungunya virus detected, suggesting recent or past infection. Correlate with exposure history and clinical presentation. Confirmatory testing at a public health lab is suggested. IgM antibodies to Chikungunya virus may remain detectable for 3 to 4 months post-infection.
IgM Positive, IgG Negative:
-IgM antibodies to Chikungunya virus detected, suggesting recent infection. Correlate with exposure history and clinical presentation. Confirmatory testing at a public health lab is suggested. Repeat testing in 5 to 10 days is recommended to demonstrate anti-Chikungunya virus IgG seroconversion to confirm current infection.
IgM Negative, IgG Positive:
-IgG antibodies to Chikungunya virus detected, suggesting past infection.
IgM and/or IgG Borderline:
-Repeat testing in 10 to 14 days is recommended.
