Streptococcus Group B Antigen Detection Test
The Streptococcus Group B Antigen Detection Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to identify the presence of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in patients, particularly in pregnant women. GBS is a type of bacteria that can cause serious infections in newborns if transmitted during delivery. Early detection through this test can significantly reduce the risk of complications and ensure timely intervention.

This test measures the presence of Group B Streptococcus antigens in the sample provided, which can be either serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or urine. The detection of these antigens helps in diagnosing GBS infections effectively.
Who Should Consider This Test
Pregnant women are the primary candidates for this test, especially those who:
- Have a history of GBS infection during previous pregnancies.
- Are experiencing symptoms such as fever or unusual discharge during pregnancy.
- Are at higher risk due to certain medical conditions.
It is essential to discuss testing with a physician if you fall into these categories.
Benefits of Taking the Test
