Galaxy Diagnostics Bartonella IFA Serology (IgG) panel

Galaxy Diagnostics has launched the Bartonella IFA Serology (IgG) panel. The antibody test detects exposure to four zoonotic Bartonella species ­– Bartonella henselae, Bartonella quintana, Bartonella koehlerae, and Bartonella vinsonii berkhoffii. According to Galaxy, the test identifies positive cases missed by conventional antibody testing, and detects IgG antibodies against the four most common Bartonella species implicated in human disease.
