Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test
The Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test is a vital diagnostic tool that measures the level of antibodies in your blood against the tetanus toxin. Tetanus is a potentially fatal disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which produces a toxin that affects the nervous system. This test is important for assessing your immunity, especially if you have not received a tetanus vaccination in the last ten years.
What the Test Measures
This test detects the presence of IgG antibodies specific to the tetanus toxoid. A high level of these antibodies indicates adequate immunity, while low levels may suggest a need for revaccination.

Individuals who should consider the Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test include:
- Those who have not been vaccinated against tetanus in the last decade.
- Individuals with wounds that may be at risk of tetanus infection.

- Helps determine your immunity status against tetanus.
- Guides healthcare providers in recommending booster vaccinations.
- Provides peace of mind, especially for those at higher risk.
