Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus Antibody Panel IgG Test
Introduction
The Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus Antibody Panel IgG Test is a crucial diagnostic tool that measures the levels of antibodies against three serious bacterial infections: Diphtheria, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), and Tetanus. These infections can lead to severe complications, especially in vulnerable populations such as infants and the elderly. Understanding your immunity status is vital for effective health management and prevention strategies.
