Reports in 1 Day

This test is done to check for IgM antibodies against the virus. Chikungunya (meaning “to bend up”) is a debilitating (causes weakness), but non-fatal viral illness that is spread by the bite of an infected Culex or Aedes mosquito. Aedes aegypti ,the primary vector of the chikungunya virus is a household container breeder and an aggressive daytime biter which is attracted to humans. Humans are a major source, or reservoir, of Chikungunya virus for the mosquitoes. The mosquito usually transmits the disease by biting an infected person and then biting someone else. An infected person cannot spread the infection directly to other persons (i.e. it is not a contagious disease). The Chikungunya disease resembles dengue fever, and is characterized by severe, sometimes persistent, joint pain (arthiritis), as well as fever and rash. There is no specific treatment for chikungunya. It can be prevented by avoiding mosquito bites in areas where chikungunya virus may be present, and by eliminating mosquito breeding sites.

This test is a rapid diagnostic test for typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is an acute illness associated with fever caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria. It can also be caused by Salmonella paratyphi, a related bacterium that usually causes a less severe illness. The bacteria are deposited in water or food by a human carrier and are then spread to other people in the area. Typhoid fever is contracted by drinking or eating the bacteria in contaminated food or water. People with acute illness can contaminate the surrounding water supply through stool, which contains a high concentration of the bacteria.

This test is used to asses IgM antibodies in patients with typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is an acute illness associated with fever caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria. It can also be caused by Salmonella paratyphi, a related bacterium that usually causes a less severe illness. The bacteria are deposited in water or food by a human carrier and are then spread to other people in the area. Typhoid fever is contracted by drinking or eating the bacteria in contaminated food or water. People with acute illness can contaminate the surrounding water supply through stool, which contains a high concentration of the bacteria. The presence of IgM antibodies indicates recent infection of typhoid fever.

Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) assist in the diagnosis of malaria by detecting evidence of malaria parasites in human blood. Malaria RDTs detect specific antigens (proteins) produced by malaria parasites that are present in the blood of infected individuals. Some RDTs detect a single species (either P. falciparum or P. vivax), some detect multiple species (P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae and P. ovale) and some further distinguish between P. falciparum and non-P. falciparum infection, or between specific species. Blood for the test is commonly obtained from a finger-prick and results are available within 15-30 minutes.

This test assist in the diagnosis of malaria by detecting evidence of malaria parasites in human blood. Thick and thin blood smears to determine whether you have malaria. If one test is negative and no parasites are found, you will have repeated blood smears every 8 hours for a couple of days to confirm that there is no malaria infection. Blood smears are taken most often from a finger prick. Thick and thin blood smears will let doctors know the percentage of red blood cells that are infected (parasite density) and what type of parasites are present. thick blood smear is a drop of blood on a glass slide. Thick blood smears are most useful for detecting the presence of parasites, because they examine a larger sample of blood. (Often there are few parasites in the blood at the time the test is done. thin blood smear is a drop of blood that is spread across a large area of the slide. Thin blood smears helps doctors discover what species of malaria is causing the infection.

Montoux test is a test used to screen individual for tuberculosis. The TT test is used to determine if someone has developed an immune response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). The standard recommended tuberculin test is the Mantoux test, which is administered by injecting a 0.1 mL volume containing 5 TU (tuberculin units) PPD into the top layers of skin of the forearm. The tuberculosis skin test is also known as the tuberculin test or PPD test. Skin tests should be read 48-72 hours after the injection. The basis of the reading of the skin test is the presence or absence and the amount of induration (localized swelling). A negative test does not always mean that a person is free of tuberculosis. A person who received a BCG vaccine against tuberculosis may also have a positive skin reaction to the TB test.

The HIV viral load test is used primarily to monitor HIV infection over time. It is a quantitative measurement of HIV nucleic acid (RNA) that reports how many copies of the virus are present in the blood. Evidence shows that keeping the viral load levels as low as possible for as long as possible decreases the complications of HIV disease, slows the progression from HIV infection to AIDS, and prolongs life. Thus, the HIV viral load is ordered in conjunction with the CD4 cell count to monitor the status of HIV disease, determine when to begin treatment, Guide recommendations for therapy, predict the future course of HIV and AIDS. An HIV antibody test is used to screen for and diagnose HIV infection. If it is positive, it is confirmed with another test, either a Western blot test or another antibody test that differentiates HIV-1 and HIV-2.

HIV western blot is a set of blood tests used for confirmatory diagnosis of chronic infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This test detects antibodies to HIV or the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of HIV in the blood or another type of sample. This determines whether an HIV infection is present (HIV-positive). HIV infects white blood cells called CD4+ cells, which are part of the body's immune system that help fight infections. HIV can progress to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). After the original infection, it takes between 2 weeks and 6 months for antibodies to HIV to appear in the blood. The period between becoming infected with HIV and the point at which antibodies to HIV can be detected in the blood is called the seroconversion or "window" period. Any blood test related to HIV conducted during the window period may give false negative results. A window period is the time it takes for the body to produce HIV antibodies after infection with the virus. This test is the most widely accepted confirmatory assay for the detection of antibodies to the retroviruses.

HIV antibody testing is used to screen for and diagnose HIV infections. Since there is no cure, early treatment of HIV infection and immune system monitoring can greatly improve long-term health and survival. Also, if a person knows his HIV status, it may help change behaviors that can put him and others at risk. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that kills or damages the body's immune system which can lead to serious infections that don't often affect healthy people. HIV enters the body through unprotected sex with an infected person via semen or vaginal fluid, contact with the blood of an infected person, sharing drug needles or via pregnant women to their babies during pregnancy. Infection with HIV causes AIDS. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and is an advanced form of an HIV infection. It can be prevented by practicing safe sex or by having AIDS medicines too. Antibodies against HIV-1 and HIV-2 are usually not detectable until 6 to 12 weeks following exposure and are almost always detectable by 12 months. They may fall to undetectable levels (ie, seroreversion) in the terminal stage of AIDS when the patient's immune system is severely depressed. Routine serologic screening of patients at risk for HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection usually begins with a HIV-1/-2 antigen and/or antibody screening test, which may be performed by various FDA-approved assay methods, including rapid HIV antibody tests, enzyme immunoassays, chemiluminescent immunoassays.

HIV Eliza test is a test used to measure the antibodies to HIV which are the immune response to HIV. An ELISA test uses components of the immune system and chemicals to detect immune responses in the body (for example, to infectious microbes). The ELISA test involves an enzyme (a protein that catalyzes a biochemical reaction). It also involves an antibody or antigen (immunologic molecules). ELISA tests are widely utilized to detect substances that have antigenic properties, primarily proteins (as opposed to small molecules and ions such as glucose and potassium). The substances detected by ELISA tests include hormones, bacterial antigens and antibodies.

HSV testing is used to detect the presence of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes simplex virus [HSV] 1 IGG indicates chronic infection. This test is done when the patient has symptoms of an infection with the herpes simplex virus, such as blisters in the genital area, mucous membranes or the brain. Herpes simplex virus or HSV (family Herpesviridae) is a contagious virus that infects humans. Herpes is caused by two strains of the herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 is more likely to affect the mouth and lips in the form of cold sores. HSV is very contagious and is transmitted through contact with an infected person who produces it and sheds the virus. It can be spread by direct contact with sores and sometimes by contact with the oral and genital areas of people with chronic HSV infection, who are between episodes of sores. Infection with the herpes virus is categorized by distinct disorders based on the site of infection such as infection of the face, throat, and mouth, hands, eye, the central nervous system, brain, buttocks or anal area and the genitals. Reactivation of a latent oral or genital HSV infection may be triggered by a fever, menstruation, emotional stress, or suppression of the immune system (for example, by a drug taken to prevent rejection of an organ transplant). An episode of the HSV infection can develop after physical trauma, such as a dental procedure or overexposure of the lips to sunlight. Often, the trigger is unknown. Once infected, the virus remains in the body for life.
