Diphtheria and Tetanus Antitoxoids

Diphtheria and Tetanus Antitoxoids is a laboratory test that measures the levels of antibodies against diphtheria and tetanus toxins in the blood. These antitoxoids are critical for assessing immunity to these serious bacterial infections, which can lead to severe health complications. Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, leading to respiratory issues and potential systemic effects, while tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani, resulting in muscle stiffness and spasms.
