Pertussis (Whooping Cough) by PCR – Private Testing in London
The Pertussis (Whooping Cough) by PCR is available at Wimpole Street Medical and Dental, our clinic in Marylebone, London W1G. This test is priced at £199. It requires a swab sample, and results are typically available within 2-3 days.
This PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test detects the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of Pertussis (Whooping Cough), providing highly sensitive molecular-level detection of active infection or presence.
Who Should Consider the Pertussis (Whooping Cough) by PCR?
Individuals with symptoms suggestive of Pertussis (Whooping Cough) infection, or those requiring confirmation of active infection. PCR is the gold standard for detecting many infectious agents even in very small quantities.
PCR tests are highly sensitive. They can detect very small amounts of pathogen genetic material. However, a positive result may persist for a period after infection has resolved. Clinical correlation is essential.
The swab is taken quickly by our trained nurses, with minimal discomfort. Our clinic is on Wimpole Street, a short walk from Bond Street and Oxford Circus stations. No GP referral is needed, book online or call 020 7183 0692.
