Francisella tularensis

Product detailed description

Anti-Francisella tularensis Antibodies

A blood test used to detect antibodies against Francisella tularensis, the bacterium that causes tularemia. This infectious disease can be transmitted through contact with infected animals, tick bites, or contaminated water. The test helps determine whether the body has been exposed to the infection in the past or whether a recent or active infection may be present. Results should always be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other laboratory findings.

IgG – Antibodies that usually indicate a past infection or previous exposure to Francisella tularensis. They may remain detectable in the blood for a long time and represent evidence of an established immune response.

IgM – Antibodies typically produced during the early stages of infection. Their presence may indicate a recent or acute tularemia infection. Results should be interpreted together with clinical symptoms and other laboratory findings.
