Our Whooping Cough Blood Test looks for pertussis antibodies in your blood to confirm an infection.
Babies who get whooping cough can have dangerous complications, like pneumonia (lung infection), convulsions (uncontrolled shaking), and brain damage. Pregnant women are encouraged to get vaccinated against whooping cough, and this also applies to people who spend time around babies.
Whooping cough, which is also known as pertussis, is an infectious bacterial infection that affects the respiratory passages.
