Anti DNase B Antideoxyribonuclease B Test
Introduction
The Anti DNase B Antideoxyribonuclease B Test is a vital diagnostic tool used primarily to detect the presence of antibodies against the enzyme Deoxyribonuclease B, produced by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. This test plays a significant role in diagnosing infections that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
