FAQ

What diseases can a CBC detect?

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test that provides information about various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

  • CBC can help detect a wide range of diseases and conditions, including anemia, infections, leukemia, and other blood disorders.
  • Abnormal CBC results may also indicate underlying health problems such as liver or kidney disease, inflammatory disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
  • Changes in CBC parameters over time can help monitor disease progression and the effectiveness of treatment.
  • CBC is a useful screening tool that can help identify potential health issues, but it is not a definitive diagnostic test.

How is a Dengue IgG Test performed?

The Dengue IgG Test involves collecting a blood sample from the individual, typically through a venipuncture.

  • The collected blood sample is then tested for the presence of Dengue-specific IgG antibodies using laboratory techniques.
  • The test results can indicate whether the person has previously been infected with the dengue virus and developed an immune response.

What is a Dengue IgM Test?

The Dengue IgM Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood of individuals suspected of having a current or recent dengue infection.

  • IgM antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to a recent dengue infection and are usually detectable within a few days to weeks after the onset of symptoms.
  • This test helps in the early diagnosis of dengue and can differentiate between a current or recent infection and a past infection.

How is a Typhidot Test performed?

A small amount of blood is usually collected through a finger prick or from a vein in the arm.

  • The blood sample is then applied to the Typhidot test device, which contains specific antigens for Salmonella typhi.
  • If the antibodies to Salmonella typhi are present in the blood, they will bind to the antigens on the test device, resulting in a visible line or color change.

What is a Widal Test?

  • The Widal Test is a blood test used to detect the presence of antibodies against specific Salmonella bacteria in the bloodstream.
  • It is primarily used for diagnosing typhoid fever and other Salmonella-related infections.

What is an ESR test?

  • The ESR test is a simple blood test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a tube over a specified period.
  • It is a non-specific test used to detect inflammation in the body. Inflammation causes certain proteins to increase in the blood, which can make red blood cells clump together and settle faster.

How many types of Dengue Tests are there?

There are several types of tests used for dengue diagnosis. The commonly employed tests include the NS1 antigen test, IgM antibody test, IgG antibody test, and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test. The NS1 antigen test detects the NS1 protein secreted by the dengue virus in the early stages of infection. IgM antibodies indicate recent infection, while IgG antibodies indicate past infection or previous exposure. PCR is a molecular technique that detects the genetic material of the virus. These tests are conducted using blood samples and are performed in medical laboratories or healthcare facilities. The choice of the test depends on factors such as the stage of infection, availability of resources, and the healthcare provider's recommendation. Each test plays a specific role in dengue diagnosis and provides valuable information for effective management of the disease.
