Clinical Utility. Babesia microt i IgG and IgM assays are used to detect infection of the tick-borne protozoan Babesia microti, specifically in cases of diagnostic uncertainty or suspected chronic infection. The assays are performed by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) methods.abesia microt i IgG and IgM assays are used to detect infection of the tick-borne protozoan Babesia microti, specifically in cases of diagnostic uncertainty or suspected chronic infection.
Red blood cells from Syrian hamsters, infected with Babesia parasites, are fixed on a glass slide. Patient serum is added, and the patient's B. microti-specific IgG or IgM antibodies bind to the parasites in the infected red blood cells.In the third step, a labeled anti-human antibody is added.Fluorescence occurs if Babesia-specific antibodies are present. The slides must be read with a fluorescent microscope.atient serum is added, and the patient's B. microti-specific IgG or IgM antibodies bind to the parasites in the infected red blood cells.
