Coxiella burnetii Phase 1 / Phase 2

SERION ELISA classic Coxiella burnetii tests are recommended for the detection of human antibodies in serum or plasma directed against Coxiella burnetii in Phase 1 or Phase 2. SERION ELISA classic Coxiella burnetii IgM is recommended for the detection of acute Q-fever, while SERION ELISA classic Coxiella burnetii (Phase 2) IgG supports the differential diagnosis of infections of the respiratory tract, especially atypical pneumonia. SERION ELISA classic Coxiella burnetii (Phase I) tests are recommended for the diagnosis of chronic Q-fever. All SERION ELISA classic Coxiella burnetii are used for the serological therapy follow-up in acute and chronic diseases.

Highlights

• Use of inactivated Coxiella burnetii phase I or phase II antigen preparations for the demonstration of phase-specific antibodies according to the recommendations of the WHO
• Detection of all relevant immunoglobulin classes
• Differentiation of acute, recent and chronic infections
• Quantification of IgG antibody activity directed against phase II antigen, starting in the clinically negative measurement range, for the analysis of paired sera for disease stage and therapy monitoring
