What is a Scrub Typhus IgG + IgM Test?

The test checks for two types of antibodies—IgM and IgG. IgM antibodies usually indicate a recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies may suggest a past infection or exposure. Doctors may recommend a Scrub Typhus IgG + IgM test in JAIPUR if a person has fever and symptoms that do not improve with routine treatment.
