Complete Fever Panel

About The Test

Complete Fever Panel is scientifically design to know the cause of Fever.

This panel covers Screening of Dengue, Malaria, and Typhoid, Chikungunya, Infection in blood and general Infection. It is cost effective and provides the one time sample for Screening of fever.

The Complete Fever Panel is recommended for individuals who present with fever and may be at risk for various infectious diseases. Here are specific groups that should consider getting this test done:

1. Individuals with Prolonged or Unexplained Fever

• Anyone experiencing a fever lasting more than a few days without a clear cause.

2. Travelers

• Those who have recently traveled to areas where diseases such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, or typhoid are endemic.

3. Patients with Related Symptoms

• Individuals showing additional symptoms such as:
• Chills
• Fatigue
• Body aches
• Abdominal pain
• Joint pain (especially relevant for chikungunya)
• Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., diarrhea)
• Urinary symptoms

4. High-Risk Groups

• Individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions that may increase susceptibility to infections.

This test helps in early diagnosis of fever infection so that prompt treatment can be given, and life-threatening complications are avoided

1. Dengue NS1 Antigen

• A specific protein produced by the dengue virus during the early stages of infection.

• Timing: Most effective within the first 1-7 days of illness. Early detection is crucial for managing dengue.

2. Dengue IgG & IgM Antibodies

• IgM: Indicates a recent infection, usually detectable 5-7 days post-infection.

• IgG: Indicates past exposure or infection, often present for years after recovery.

3. Malaria Parasite (MP)

• A test that detects malaria parasites in the blood.

4. Chikungunya IgM Antibody

• A test that detects antibodies specific to the chikungunya virus, indicating recent infection.

5. Widal Test (Typhoid)

• A serological test that measures the presence of antibodies against Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi.

6. Bactec Blood Culture

• A test to detect bacteria or fungi in the bloodstream.

7. CBC (Complete Blood Count)

• A broad screening test that evaluates the components of blood.

8. ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

• A measure of how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube; an indicator of inflammation.

9. CRP (C-reactive Protein)

• A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.

10. Urinalysis

• A test that examines urine for various components, including cells, bacteria, and chemical substances.
