1. Stool C/S
The test involves collecting a stool sample, which is then cultured to identify pathogens. Sensitivity testing follows to determine effective antibiotics.
It can diagnose bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections causing gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.
Results are typically available within a few days, depending on the growth rate of pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity testing.
The test involves minimal risk, mainly related to sample collection. It’s essential to follow proper hygiene and sample collection procedures.
No, this test specifically detects bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Viral infections require different diagnostic tests.
2. Ophthalmologist
A comprehensive eye exam includes tests to check vision clarity, eye muscle function, and overall eye health, helping detect issues like refractive errors, glaucoma, and cataracts early.
Adults should have an eye exam every 1-2 years, or as recommended by their eye doctor based on age, risk factors, and existing eye conditions.
Symptoms include blurry vision, glare, halos around lights, and reduced color perception, which can worsen over time.
LASIK and PRK are common surgeries to correct vision by reshaping the cornea. Other procedures include LASEK and SMILE.
Children should have their first eye exam between 6 months and 1 year of age, then at ages 3 and 5, and every 1-2 years thereafter.
3. TB GOLD
The TB GOLD Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to detect latent tuberculosis infection.
Unlike the tuberculin skin test (TST), the TB GOLD Test does not require a return visit for reading and provides more accurate results by measuring the immune response to TB-specific antigens.
No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent illnesses.
Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.
The TB GOLD Test helps accurately diagnose latent TB infection, which is crucial for preventing the progression to active TB and ensuring appropriate treatment and management.
