Titer Testing
What Is Titer Testing?
A titer test is a laboratory blood test. It checks for the presence of certain antibodies in the blood stream. Testing involves drawing blood from a patient and check it in a lab for presence of bacteria or disease. It is often used to see if someone is immune to a certain virus or needs vaccination.
What Do Titer Tests Check For?
Titers check to see if you have had an infection or are immune to a disease. This can happen from having contracted the disease or vaccination. It is recommended if you are unsure of your vaccination history, think you may need a booster or have been infected by a disease.
One test can check for a variety of diseases including:
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- Chickenpox
- Rabies
- Measles, Mumps or Rubella
Why Is Titer Testing Important?
Testing titers can help you avoid unnecessary vaccines, save money and remove the hassle of booster shots. It can also help identify any infections or similar problems you may be experiencing. Be sure to check with a healthcare provider if titer testing is right for you.
