Elispot looks at the T cell response and IGG/IGM looks at B cells/Antibodies. They are testing different aspects of the immune system to the same pathogen.
Some people don't produce antibodies and have a more active T cell response.
In an ideal world to assess an infection, a practitioner should look at both sides of the immune system response, in other words, Eli-spot for the T cells/cellular response and IGG/IGM for humoral/B cell/antibody response.
To check for recent antibodies (IGM) or past exposure antibodies (IGG) please run this test, but for the best overview of the immune system, combine it with the relevant Elispot test.
If you need advice on which test to choose, please contact AONM as they can advise specifically.
