what the risks are blood test, campylobacter jejuni organism, test used, antibodies to campylobacter, in the blood, blood is drawn, a vein, on the inside, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins below the band to fill, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an air-tight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, an infant, young child, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, cotton, a bandage applied, puncture site, any continued bleeding, serology refers, study of serum, fluid portion of blood, its antibody content, an antibody defends the body against bacteria, viruses, fungus, foreign bodies, antigens, certain microbial cells stimulate the body to produce these antibodies, active infection, antibody production increases, course of infection, initial stage of an illness, few antibodies detected, serology tests, repeated 10 days to 2 weeks, initial sample, antibodies react, antigens in specific ways, confirm the identity of a specific microorganism, several serology techniques, used depending on the suspected antibodies, serology techniques include agglutination, precipitation, complement-fixation, fluorescent antibodies, , no special preparation, infants, children, test depends on child's age, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, this test, detect, antibodies to campylobacter, in the blood, infection, campylobacter, cause an infectious diarrheal illness, no antibodies to campylobacter, abnormal results indicate antibodies against campylobacter, person has been exposed to campylobacter, important, an increase, in the antibody titer, beginning, the illness to several weeks later, to distinguish current illness from previous exposure, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, serology tests, repeated, course of an illness to detect a rise in antibody titers, rise helps to confirm an active infection, a low titer, indicate a previous infection rather than a current disease, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
