C - Reactive Protein (CRP) is a blood test that measures the level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.Its a nonspecific marker of inflammation, meaning it can be elevated in various conditions, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and heart disease. While CRP does not diagnose a specific condition, it can help monitor disease activity, assess the risk of heart attack or stroke, and guide treatment decisions.

MALARIA PARASITE / BLOOD PARASITE IDENTIFICATION BY SMEAR TEST INVOLVES EXAMINING A BLOOD SAMPLE UNDER A MICROSCOPE TO DETECT AND IDENTIFY MALARIA PARASITES. A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLOOD IS SPREAD THINLY ON A SLIDE, STAINED, AND THEN EXAMINED FOR THE PRESENCE OF THESE PARASITES WITHIN RED BLOOD CELLS. THIS METHOD ALLOWS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF DIFFERENT MALARIA PARASITE SPECIES, WHICH IS CRUCIAL FOR DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATE TREATMENT. WHILE EFFECTIVE, IT REQUIRES SKILLED TECHNICIANS AND CAN BE TIME-CONSUMING, ESPECIALLY IF PARASITE LEVELS ARE LOW.

TYPHOID FEVER IS A BACTERIAL INFECTION THAT SPREADS THROUGH CONTAMINATED FOOD & DRINKING WATER. IT CAN ALSO SPREAD THROUGH CLOSE CONTACT FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER. THE DISEASE MAINLY AFFECTS INTESTINAL TRACT, LIVER AND SPLEEN. THIS TEST DETECTS IGM & IGG ANTIBODIES, THE MARKERS OF EXPOSURE TO TYPHOID BACTERIA.

A COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) IS A COMPREHENSIVE BLOOD TEST THAT PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE CELLS IN YOUR BLOOD. IT MEASURES THE NUMBER OF RED BLOOD CELLS, WHITE BLOOD CELLS, AND PLATELETS, AS WELL AS HEMOGLOBIN (THE PROTEIN THAT CARRIES OXYGEN) AND HEMATOCRIT (THE PERCENTAGE OF RED BLOOD CELLS IN YOUR BLOOD). A CBC IS USED TO DIAGNOSE AND MONITOR A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ANEMIA, INFECTIONS, BLEEDING DISORDERS, AND BLOOD CANCERS.

A DENGUE PROFILE IGG, IGM & NS1 RAPID TEST IS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO DETECT DENGUE FEVER INFECTION. IT COMBINES THREE TESTS: IGG AND IGM ANTIBODIES, WHICH INDICATE PAST OR CURRENT INFECTION RESPECTIVELY, AND NS1 ANTIGEN, A PROTEIN PRESENT DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF THE DISEASE. THIS COMPREHENSIVE PANEL HELPS DETERMINE IF A PERSON HAS AN ACTIVE DENGUE INFECTION, HAS HAD A PREVIOUS INFECTION, OR IS AT RISK. EARLY DIAGNOSIS IS CRUCIAL FOR TIMELY MANAGEMENT AND PREVENTION OF SEVERE DENGUE COMPLICATIONS.
- NS1 POSITIVE: CURRENT INFECTION
- IGM POSITIVE: RECENT INFECTION
- IGG POSITIVE: PAST INFECTION
