BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS IGG ANTIBODIES (QUANTITATIVE)

The Bordetella Pertussis IgG Antibodies (Quantitative) test measures the concentration of IgG antibodies directed against Bordetella pertussis—commonly the pertussis toxin antigen—in a serum sample, using validated immunoassays. This quantitative result (reported in IU/mL or lab-specific units) helps determine whether an individual has protective immunity from prior vaccination or past infection, and contributes to assessment following exposure or persistent cough.

This test is commonly used to assess immunity after vaccination, evaluate possible recent exposure to whooping cough, and support clinical or public-health decisions for at-risk groups such as pregnant women, healthcare workers, and close contacts. It is suitable for adults, adolescents, and children (as advised by a clinician) and is available through at-home blood collection across Dubai for patient convenience.

Sample collection requires a venous blood draw performed by a trained phlebotomist; no fasting is typically required. Interpretation should consider recent vaccination (which elevates IgG levels), timing of symptoms, and other tests (PCR or serology pairs) because IgG alone may not reliably distinguish acute from past infection. Results are provided with lab reference ranges and should be reviewed with a UAE-licensed clinician for clinical decision-making.
