Rickettsial Antibodies

Overview of Rickettsial Infection Testing
A serologic test is used to assist in the diagnosis of Rickettsial infections, which are caused by a group of bacteria transmitted through ticks, fleas, or mites.

Role of Serologic Testing
Serologic testing detects specific antibodies produced in response to Rickettsial bacteria, helping to confirm the presence of an active or past infection. This method is especially useful when symptoms suggest possible exposure to vector-borne pathogens.
