About Diphtheria Antibody Test | Immunity Testing in Melrose Park
Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection caused by toxin-producing strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
The disease primarily affects the respiratory tract, where it can cause a thick gray membrane in the throat and airways, leading to breathing difficulties. The bacteria produce a toxin that can also damage the heart, kidneys, and nervous system.
Vaccination with diphtheria toxoid stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies that neutralize the toxin. These antibodies are the basis of protection against the disease.
The diphtheria antibody test quantifies the amount of these antibodies in the blood. Results help determine whether a person has adequate immunity, which is particularly useful for individuals with uncertain vaccination histories or those who may have a weakened immune response.
