Bartonella Antibody Profile

This test measures antibodies in your blood produced in response to Bartonella bacteria. It helps determine if your immune system has encountered the germs responsible for conditions like cat scratch disease or trench fever. Doctors use this result to evaluate symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes and fever, particularly after contact with animals. However, detecting these antibodies only indicates past or recent exposure and does not confirm an active infection on its own.
