The test for Cat Scratch Fever
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This is a test for the bacteria that causes Cat Scratch Fever. The test looks for IgG antibodies, indicating past infection. As this illness can co-exist with Lyme Disease, and indeed as both conditions share similar symptoms, it is often recommended to test for both Cat Scratch Fever and Lyme Disease at the same time.
Description provided by Blue Horizon Medicals.
Immunoglobulin G has four subclasses, all of which have different functions. Breaking down total IgG into it's subclasses therefore can give a better clinical picture than Igg total alone.
This blood test measures the level of tryptase, an enzyme released alongside histamine during the body's response to injury, infection, or an allergic reaction.
