Listeria is an infection occurring from the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. It is a serious foodborne disease resulting in severe health complications, particularly for pregnant women, older adults, newborns, or those with weak immunity. Private Blood Tests London brings you Listeria antibody testing to diagnose and manage Listeria infections, enabling timely intervention and peace of mind.
What is Listeria antibody testing?
It is a blood test used to detect antibodies in your bloodstream, produced by your immune system in response to Listeria monocytogenes infection. These antibodies suggest whether you have been exposed to the pathogen, or you have an active or past infection.
Listeria antibody testing is important as it might lead to complications like stillbirth, miscarriages, newborn illnesses, sepsis, meningitis, or other secondary infections.
