Frequently Asked Questions

This test detects IgG antibodies against Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium responsible for whooping cough. The enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method is used to measure the level of antibodies, which helps determine recent or past exposure and immunity.

This test is recommended for:

  • Individuals with prolonged cough, suspected of having pertussis.
  • People who have had close contact with a confirmed pertussis case.
  • Healthcare workers and individuals requiring immunity verification.

A blood sample is collected and analyzed using the EIA technique to measure IgG antibodies against Bordetella pertussis.

  • Positive Result: Indicates past exposure or successful vaccination.
  • Negative Result: Suggests no previous exposure or insufficient antibody levels.
  • Equivocal Result: Requires repeat testing or clinical correlation.

This test helps confirm immunity, diagnose suspected pertussis infections, and determine the need for booster vaccinations.
