Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis
Are you concerned about tetanus and want to know more about the Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test? DNA Labs India is here to provide you with all the information you need. In this blog, we will discuss the cost of the test, symptoms of tetanus, and how the diagnosis is made.
Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test Cost
The cost of the Tetanus Toxoid Antibody IgG Test in India is around INR 4000. This test measures the level of IgG antibodies in the blood, which are produced in response to the tetanus vaccine or exposure to the tetanus bacteria. The test is used to determine if an individual has immunity to tetanus.
Symptoms of Tetanus
Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that affects the nervous system. It is caused by the Clostridium tetani bacteria, which produce a toxin that affects the nerves that control muscle movement. The symptoms of tetanus include:
- Stiffness in the jaw (lockjaw)
- Muscle stiffness and spasms
- Difficulty swallowing
- Fever and sweating
- Rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure
- Seizures
The symptoms of tetanus can be severe and can lead to complications such as respiratory failure and death. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you suspect you have tetanus.
Diagnosis of Tetanus
The diagnosis of tetanus is based on the symptoms and a physical exam. A doctor will look for signs of muscle stiffness and spasms, as well as other symptoms such as lockjaw. They may also order a blood test to measure the level of tetanus antibodies in the blood.
If you have not been vaccinated against tetanus, your doctor may recommend a tetanus shot. The tetanus vaccine is highly effective and can prevent tetanus from developing even after exposure to the bacteria.

Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is caused by the toxin of Clostridium tetani. Spores of this bacterium are introduced into the body through puncture wound. Under these anaerobic conditions the bacteria grow and produce toxins (tetanospasmin, tetanolysin), which cause skeletal muscle spasms & autonomic nervous system disturbance. Protection is achieved by vaccination in childhood and following booster injections. In children <7 years of age, the tetanus vaccine is administered as a combined vaccine, which also includes vaccines against diphtheria and pertussis (DPT). Immunity is generally achieved by three lifetime doses of the vaccine; booster shots of the vaccine are recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity. For adults and children >7 years of age, combined vaccines of tetanus and diphtheria (DT, DTaP) are commonly used.
