Find Clarity About Your Persistent Cough
When that nagging cough won’t go away and you’re worried it might be whooping cough, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Bordetella Multiplex Test gives you the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and the right treatment.
Understanding Your Bordetella Test
This advanced diagnostic test uses Real-Time PCR technology to detect and differentiate between four key Bordetella strains that cause respiratory infections. Unlike standard tests, our multiplex approach specifically identifies:
- Bordetella toxin – The primary cause of severe whooping cough symptoms
- B.pertussis – The classic whooping cough bacterium
- B.holmensii – A related strain with similar symptoms
- B.parapetussis – Another variant causing persistent cough
By detecting RNA rather than just proteins, this test provides superior accuracy and early detection capabilities.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide crucial answers:
- Persistent cough lasting more than 2 weeks
- Coughing fits that make it hard to breathe
- A “whooping” sound when breathing in after coughing
- Vomiting after severe coughing episodes
- Extreme fatigue from coughing spells
- Recent exposure to someone with whooping cough
- Working in healthcare, childcare, or education settings
Early detection is particularly important for infants, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems.
