A member asked:
Why would a person need a poliovirus antibody level test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Polio antibody: It can be used to see if you are immune to the 3 serotypes of poliovirus before going to a still endemic area. It can also be used to help diagnose the disease. Antibody titters do rise also after immunization.
