Campylobacter serology test

Normal Values:

No antibodies to campylobacter are present.



What abnormal results mean:

Abnormal results indicate antibodies against campylobacter. This means you have been exposed to the bacteria. Tests will show an increase in the antibody titer from the beginning of the illness to several weeks later, to distinguish current illness from previous exposure. A titer is a measure of the concentration of a substance in a sample.
