TETANUS ANTITOXID Test
Cost: AED 1250.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The Tetanus Antitoxin Test, also known as the Tetanus Antitoxoid Test, is a laboratory test used to measure the level of tetanus antitoxin antibodies in a person’s blood. Tetanus antitoxin is a type of antibody that helps protect against the toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which causes tetanus.
The test is usually performed when there is a suspicion of tetanus infection or to determine the effectiveness of tetanus vaccination. It can also be used to monitor the levels of tetanus antitoxin in individuals who have received tetanus immunoglobulin for treatment.
During the test, a blood sample is taken from the individual and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The sample is tested for the presence and quantity of tetanus antitoxin antibodies. The results are reported as a numerical value, indicating the level of antibodies present in the blood. A higher level of tetanus antitoxin antibodies indicates a greater level of protection against tetanus infection.
If the antibody level is below the protective threshold, it may indicate a need for tetanus vaccination or booster shot. It is important to note that the Tetanus Antitoxin Test does not diagnose tetanus infection itself. Diagnosis of tetanus is usually based on clinical symptoms and signs, such as muscle stiffness, spasms, and difficulty swallowing. The test is primarily used to assess the immune response to tetanus and determine the need for vaccination or treatment.
