BARTONELLA IGG

The BARTONELLA IGG test is a serological blood test that detects IgG antibodies directed against Bartonella species (commonly B. henselae and B. quintana), indicating past exposure or a chronic infection. The assay is performed on a venous blood sample collected during a Dubai home visit and analysed in an accredited laboratory to provide quantitative or qualitative antibody results used in clinical decision-making.

This test is useful for patients with a history of cat contact, flea exposure, unexplained lymphadenopathy, prolonged fever, culture-negative endocarditis, or persistent neurological symptoms where Bartonella infection is a consideration. A positive IgG suggests prior or ongoing exposure but does not by itself confirm an acute infection—clinical correlation, additional tests (eg, IgM, PCR, or repeat serology), and physician consultation are recommended to guide treatment decisions.
