What Conditions Can Serology Detect in Pediatrics?
Serological tests can detect a wide range of conditions in children:
1. Infectious Diseases: Serology can diagnose infections caused by viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Examples include HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
2. Vaccine Efficacy: Serological tests can monitor the efficacy of vaccines like MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and Varicella.
3. Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Lupus can also be detected through specific antibody tests.
