Bacterial Disease IFA Test Kits

Lyme disease is brought on by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is passed on to humans when bitten by infected backlegged ticks. If no proper treatment is prescribed to the patient, the infection may spread to the joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Besides the common signs and symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, headache, and skin rashes, Lyme disease is also diagnosed through laboratory testing using validated methods. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a two-step process in blood testing to detect antibodies against the Lyme disease bacteria. The first test is the EIA (enzyme immunoassay) or the IFA (indirect immunofluorescence assay). If the test shows a positive or equivocal result, the second step ensues, which is the immunoblot test or “Western blot” test. If the test shows a positive result again, then the Lyme disease is present in the patient.

Another bacterial disease is the Pontiac fever and Legionnaires’ disease, also known as legionellosis. It is a disease caused by the bacteria Legionella, which are found naturally in the environment. They grow best in warm water, such as that found in hot tubs, fountains, and hot water tanks. The Legionnaires’ disease is transmitted to humans when they breathe in a mist or vapor that contains the bacteria. To diagnose this disease, an effective tool is Elisatestkits.com’s Legionella Antibody IFA Kit, which is designed to assay the level of Legionella antibodies in human sera.

A disease that is spread from sexual activities is syphilis. The disease is easy to cure if it is still in its early stages using appropriate antibiotics from a doctor. Signs and symptoms include sores on the genitals, anus, or mouth, and rashes in the body. To accurately diagnose this disease, the Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody-Absorption (FTA-ABS) Test System is recommended for the qualitative determination of antibodies to the bacteria Treponema pallidum.
