Underdiagnosis, the IgM antibodies indicate recent infection, and IgG antibodies indicate past infection and usually persist throughout an individual’s lifespan after infection or vaccination. The increased testing for Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) infection is giving a boost to the Mexico diagnostic Labs Market growth.
