The Bordetella Pertussis Antibody IgG Test is a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying past infections of whooping cough, a severe respiratory illness caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. This test measures the levels of IgG antibodies in the blood, which indicate whether you have been exposed to the bacteria and developed an immune response.
