Clinical Use:
Establish evidence of early/acute infection with Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough

Following vaccination, IgG and IgM antibodies can be demonstrated. The presence of specific IgM in a single sample may indicate an acute infection and should be considered suggestive of recent infection or a presumptive diagnosis of a supporting clinical presentation.
