Tetanus Antitoxoid Antibodies

This test assesses immunity against tetanus by determining levels of circulating antibodies to tetanus toxin or to measure the immune response, postvaccination, in individuals suspected of immunodeficiency disorders.

Tetanus is a life-threatening bacterial infection. The bacteria usually get into the body through a cut or wound in the skin. The bacteria make a powerful poison that causes muscles to contract uncontrollably in spasms. Tetanus is especially dangerous in young children and older adults.

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
