Aiding in the diagnosis of tularemia caused by Francisella tularensis
This test should not be used as a test of cure as it is not quantitative and patients may remain seropositive for months to years following resolution of disease.
This test detects IgM and IgG class antibodies to Francisella tularensis in serum and may be used as an aid for the diagnosis of tularemia.
Serologic testing should be performed alongside other diagnostic methods, including culture of appropriate specimens.(Note: please notify microbiology laboratory in cases of suspected F tularensis to minimize exposure risk to bench technologists)
