Yellow Fever Virus Antibodies (IgG+IgM)

The Yellow Fever Virus Antibodies (IgG+IgM) test is a serological assay performed on a blood sample to detect specific IgM and IgG antibodies against the Yellow Fever virus. Detection of IgM typically indicates recent or acute infection, while the presence of IgG suggests prior exposure or immunity from past infection or vaccination. This home-collection test uses validated immunoassays performed in accredited laboratories to provide reliable results for clinical decision-making and travel planning across Dubai and the UAE.

This test is useful for diagnosing suspected Yellow Fever in symptomatic patients with recent travel to endemic regions, for assessing immune response after vaccination in immunocompromised individuals, and for pre-travel checks when clinicians recommend serological confirmation of immunity. Results help guide clinical management, public health notification, and counselling on travel or occupational precautions.

Samples are collected at home by trained phlebotomists and processed by accredited labs; IgM antibodies typically become detectable days after symptom onset while IgG appears later and can persist long-term. Be aware of limitations such as cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses (e.g., dengue) that may require confirmatory neutralization testing (PRNT). Antibody testing does not replace the International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card) required by some countries—consult your physician or local health authorities for entry requirements and interpretation of results.
