What is Diphtheria Antibody IgG Test?

Corynebacterium (C.) diphtheriae, an aerobic, non-sporulating rod bacterium, causes diphtheria. The diphtheria toxin is responsible for C. diphtheria's virulence. The bacterium's only reservoir is humans. Active immunisation is the preferred method of diphtheria prevention. The antitoxin-induced immunity prevents the illness but not the infection, so there may be carriers among those who have been vaccinated.

Why is it done?

To rule out antibody deficiency, assess a patient's ability to produce antibody to pure protein vaccine after vaccination.
