What else can I help you with?
Can you have antibodies for herpes without actually having the virus?
Yes, it is possible to have antibodies for herpes without actually having the virus. Antibodies can be present in the body as a result of previous exposure to the virus or through vaccination.
Can you get shingles or chickenpox from your daughter?
If you have already had exposure to chicken pox you will not get chickenpox again. However, you can still get shingles from exposure because it is a reaction of the previous infection.
Why wont previous exposure to the flu prvent subsequent infection?
The 'flu' is a virus, and viruses mutate readily. Unless the same flu makes its way around again, or a fairly similar strain to a previous encounter you've had through exposure or vaccine, you will have little defense.
How accurate is a Malaria Antibody Test Kit?
The Malaria Antibody Test Kit offers a reliable method for detecting past malaria infections by identifying antibodies in the blood. While it is highly accurate for indicating previous exposure, it may not detect active infections, as antibodies can persist even after the parasite is cleared. It's best used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, such as PCR or blood smear, for current infection diagnosis. Always consult healthcare professionals for accurate interpretation of results
CAn an Xray reveal previous TB history?
An X-ray can show signs of previous tuberculosis (TB) such as scarring or calcifications in the lungs. However, a chest X-ray alone cannot confirm a previous TB infection. Additional tests, like a TB skin test or blood test, may be needed to confirm previous TB exposure or infection.
If you are going on holiday in a week would you spend time now with a grandchild with chickenpox?
If you are not immune to chickenpox from previous infection or immunization, you may be at risk for chickenpox from exposure now. If you are immune, there is no risk.
Can you get Diphtheria?
Previous infection may not prevent against future infection.
Can individuals experience adenovirus reinfection after recovering from a previous infection?
Yes, individuals can experience adenovirus reinfection after recovering from a previous infection.
The process by which the body remembers previous infections and produces antibodies more quickly if that infection is seen again?
Memory B cells are formed following primary infection and are important in antibody-mediated immune response in the case of re-infection. The response is very rapid. This is also known as a secondary immune response.
Can diphtheria recur?
Previous infection may not prevent against future infection.
The presence of what indicates a current infection rather than a previous infection or vaccination?
IgM
Can you get infected with diphtheria again?
Previous infection may not prevent against future infection.
