The PCR test for whooping cough is a laboratory examination used to detect the Bordetella pertussis bacterium, the cause of whooping cough.

This test is suitable for confirming infection in the first three weeks of illness. Unlike the IgA/IgG antibody test for whooping cough, which is suitable for later stages of the disease, the PCR test identifies the infection early on.

A sample for the PCR test is collected with a swab from the back of the nasopharynx. Collection is available for children aged five and older.

!!Sample collection is only available at sites in Prague and Plzeň!!
