Infections
Blood tests for infections are crucial to determine the presence, type and treatment of infections. Examples include HIV, hepatitis and COVID-19 tests. However, Pfeiffer, Chlamydia, Coxsackievirus can also be found in the blood.
Chikungunya IgG
Chikungunya IgG test checks whether a person has previously had the Chikungunya virus. A positive resultant shows that a person has become immune from a previous exposure.

Varizella zoster virus
Varicella-zoster virus (HHV-3) IgG avidity (serum). The less specific the antibodies the lower the avidity. Originates from local reactivation.
€ 45,-
Hepatitis A IGM current infection
If you have not been vaccinated and your hepatites IgM/IgG hits positive you can do this go-to test to see if it is a current infection.
€ 39,-
TBE (Tick borne encephalitis) IgG/IgM
The gold standard in the diagnosis of TBE is the detection of IgM and IgG-TBE specific antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ). IgM antibodies are sometimes detectable up to months after infection, whereas IgG antibodies are detectable up to months after infection.

Covid -19 IgG antibodies Euroimmun finger prick
Corona antibodies IgG Blood test by Laboratory. EUROIMMUN antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 (ELISA) detectable after 14-30 days. This Dry spot test can be send to the lab by a finger prick.
€ 69,-
Hepatitis Delta IgG antibodies
The hepatitis D virus causes an acute hepatitis that can progress to a chronic form. Hepatitis D only occurs if someone has hepatitis B.
€ 119,-
Chikungunya IgM
Chikungunya IgM antibodies usually appear in the early stages of infection, often within 3 to 5 days of the onset of infection.

Get clarity on infections
Do you have Pfeiffer's disease, Chlamydia, Coxsackievirus or Corona virus. You test for these and many more in this category. Take the sure thing and get the facts.
A blood test for infection is done to:
Confirm or rule out the presence of the infection.
Identify the type and severity of the infection.
Assess the body's immune response by measuring levels of antibodies or pathogens in the blood.
Determine the best treatment options.
Track the progress of treatment.
Detect potential complications.
To help protect others if the infection is contagious.
A blood test can provide important information for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of infections.
Antibodies are measured for several reasons:
- Infectious diseases: Antibody tests are used to determine whether a person has been exposed to a particular infection. For example, antibody tests can show whether a person has developed antibodies to diseases such as COVID-19, hepatitis, HIV or other infectious diseases.
- Vaccination: After vaccination, measuring antibodies can help determine whether the person has developed a sufficient immune response against the pathogen in question. This can be important in assessing the effectiveness of vaccines.
- Autoimmune diseases: Antibody tests are used to diagnose autoimmune diseases, in which the immune system produces antibodies that attack the body's own tissues. Examples include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease.
- Allergies: In the case of allergies, antibody testing can help identify specific allergens to which a person is allergic.
- Monitoring treatment: Antibody tests can be used to monitor the response to immunotherapies or other treatments, such as some cancers.
- Screening: Antibody tests can be used for screening purposes, such as in screening blood donors to detect infectious diseases such as HIV or hepatitis.
The timing of antibody tests can vary depending on the specific purpose. Sometimes they are performed shortly after a suspected exposure to an infection, while in other cases regular monitoring may be needed to track the immune response over time.
