1. HCV SPOT
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.

Yes, the HCV Spot Test is highly accurate in detecting antibodies against hepatitis C virus. However, a positive result requires confirmation through additional tests.
No, additional tests are needed to differentiate between acute and chronic hepatitis C infection.
A positive result indicates possible hepatitis C infection. Further confirmatory tests and counseling will be provided to determine the next steps for treatment and care.
2. DENGUE IGG
A positive result indicates past infection with the Dengue virus or successful vaccination against Dengue.
No, additional tests, such as Dengue IgM or PCR, may be required to differentiate recent infections from past ones.
No, the Dengue IgG test is not suitable for diagnosing acute Dengue infection. IgG antibodies appear later in the course of infection.
Dengue IgG antibodies can remain detectable in the bloodstream for months to years after infection or vaccination.
A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgG antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is a recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
