Description
- Simple fingerprick blood draw
- Detects four markers. Most tests do only one.
Biometrix AcuDart tests have a sensitivity greater than 90%, making them more accurate than any other DTC test or tests from commercial laboratories. The Biometrix AcuDart Bartonellosis Test is the most comprehensive and accurate test available for Bartonellosis because it identifies antibodies to the following four Bartonella species: B. henselae, B. quintana, B. elizabethae and B. vinsonii. Most tests look for only one species,and therefore miss many positive cases.
Bartonellosis is a group of diseases caused by species of the genus Bartonella. Studies have found that certain Bartonella species are carried by the same ticks that carry Lyme disease, and ticks are likely the chief source of human Bartonellosis infection. Several species of Bartonella cause severe diseases in humans, such as Cat scratch disease (CSD), endocarditis, trench fever, and Carrion’s disease.
