Test Details:
The Bordetella pertussis antibody IgG test is a blood test that measures the levels of IgG antibodies specific to the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. Bordetella pertussis is the bacteria responsible for causing whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection.
IgG antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to an infection or vaccination. Testing for IgG antibodies can help determine if a person has been previously exposed to the bacteria or if they have developed immunity through vaccination.
This test is often used to confirm a past infection with Bordetella pertussis or to assess the effectiveness of a vaccination. It can also be used to determine if a person is susceptible to whooping cough and may require vaccination or other preventive measures.
The results of the test are typically reported as a numerical value indicating the level of IgG antibodies present in the blood. A positive result indicates the presence of antibodies, suggesting either past infection or vaccination. A negative result suggests no previous exposure or insufficient antibody levels.
It is important to note that the Bordetella pertussis antibody IgG test is not used for diagnosing current or active infections. Other tests, such as PCR or culture, are typically used for this purpose.
