About Diphtheria Antibody Test | Immunity Testing in Appleton
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection caused by toxin-producing strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
The disease can affect the respiratory tract, producing a thick membrane in the throat and airways, and in severe cases it can damage the heart, kidneys, and nerves. Because the harmful effects are driven largely by a toxin rather than by the bacteria alone, protection depends on antibodies that neutralize that toxin.
Vaccination with diphtheria toxoid stimulates the immune system to produce these neutralizing antibodies without causing disease. Antibody levels can decline over time, so measuring them helps determine whether an individual still has detectable immunity from prior vaccination.
This test is not used to diagnose an active diphtheria infection. It is an immunity assessment, typically ordered to evaluate vaccine response or to check whether antibody levels remain above a protective threshold.
