Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The presence of IgM-class antibodies to is consistent with acute-phase infection.
IgM antibodies become detectable 3 to 7 days following infection and may remain detectable for up to 6 months or longer following disease recovery.
Hope my answer was helpful.
