This template should be used for all outbreak, epidemic and pandemic medical cases charts based on {} to maintain consistency. It displays horizontal bars for up to 5 different classifications of cases for each valid date or interval. It offers two columns to make numbers explicit and to show relative or absolute changes.
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Infectious disease templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page.
Therefore, the presence of IgM in the blood of the host is used to test for acute infection, whereas IgG indicates an infection sometime in the past. [8] Both types of antibodies are measured when tests for immunity are carried out. [9] Antibody testing has become widely available.

In immunology, seroconversion is the development of specific antibodies in the blood serum as a result of infection or immunization, including vaccination. [1] [2] During infection or immunization, antigens enter the blood, and the immune system begins to produce antibodies in response. Before seroconversion, the antigen itself may or may not ...
