Bordetella pertussis Bacterial Load Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Bordetella pertussis Bacterial Load Test to measure the amount of Bordetella pertussis bacteria present in a patient’s respiratory sample. This test is primarily used for diagnosing pertussis, also known as whooping cough.
Test Details
The Bordetella pertussis bacterial load test involves collecting a respiratory sample, such as nasopharyngeal secretions, swabs, oral/rectal swabs, necropsy samples, blood, urine, sputum, throat swab, bronchoalveolar lavage samples, lung tissue, etc. The collected sample is then processed in our laboratory using real-time PCR method.
Price and Report Delivery
The cost of the Bordetella pertussis Bacterial Load Test is 1580.0 AED. The report will be delivered within 4th working day via email (48 hours) or on phone (36 hours).
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, patients are required to sign a consent document and bring any clinical history related to Bordetella pertussis infection.
Importance of the Test
The Bordetella pertussis bacterial load test provides a numerical value indicating the number of Bordetella pertussis bacteria present in the patient’s sample. This value helps in determining the severity of the infection and guiding appropriate treatment decisions. It is especially useful in diagnosing pertussis in its early stages when symptoms may not be clearly evident. Additionally, the test is helpful in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and assessing the risk of transmission to others.
Test Department and Doctor
The Bordetella pertussis Bacterial Load Test is conducted in our Genetics department by our experienced physicians.
Conclusion
The Bordetella pertussis Bacterial Load Test offered at DNA Labs UAE is a valuable diagnostic tool for diagnosing pertussis and determining the severity of the infection. It provides accurate results in a timely manner, allowing for appropriate treatment decisions to be made. If you suspect a pertussis infection, we recommend considering this test along with other diagnostic methods to confirm the diagnosis.

| Test Details | The Bordetella pertussis bacterial load test is a diagnostic test used to measure the amount of Bordetella pertussis bacteria present in a patient’s respiratory sample. This test is primarily used to diagnose pertussis, also known as whooping cough. The test involves collecting a respiratory sample, typically through a nasopharyngeal swab or a cough plate. The collected sample is then processed in a laboratory, where the bacteria are isolated and cultured. After the bacteria have multiplied, they are quantified using various methods, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or real-time PCR. The bacterial load test provides a numerical value indicating the number of Bordetella pertussis bacteria present in the patient’s sample. This value helps in determining the severity of the infection and guiding appropriate treatment decisions. The test is especially useful in diagnosing pertussis in its early stages when symptoms may not be clearly evident. It is also helpful in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and assessing the risk of transmission to others. It is important to note that the bacterial load test is not typically performed as a standalone test but is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, such as serology or clinical evaluation, to confirm the diagnosis of pertussis. |
