Bordetella Pertussis / Parapertussis
Pertussis is also known as whooping cough. The infection is known to cause life-threatening complications among infants and small children, leading to an estimated 195,000 deaths annually around the world.
For cases of suspected pertussis, a contagious bacterial disease that can be difficult to distinguish from other upper respiratory infections, the Clarity Lab Solutions Bordetella test detects Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella Parapertussis DNA from nasopharyngeal swab specimens.
