The test involves collecting a small blood sample, usually through a finger prick or venous draw, and testing it for malaria antigens.

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can detect antigens specific to Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, or both, depending on the test used.

Yes, RDTs are generally reliable for detecting malaria antigens, with high specificity and sensitivity when performed correctly.

Some RDTs can differentiate between P. falciparum and other malaria species, aiding in targeted treatment strategies.

The test involves a simple blood draw with minimal risks, such as minor bruising at the puncture site.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing flu-like symptoms, and in severe cases, it can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.

Anyone experiencing symptoms of dengue fever, particularly within the first few days of illness, should consider this test for early diagnosis.

Yes, the Dengue NS1 Antigen Test is highly accurate in detecting early dengue infection, especially within the first five days of symptom onset.

The test involves a blood draw, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect the NS1 antigen.

A positive result indicates a dengue infection. Your healthcare provider will discuss treatment options and may recommend further testing or monitoring.

The Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Test detects antibodies against phospholipids, helping diagnose antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and assess the risk of blood clots.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm and analyzed for the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies.

No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are usually available within 1-2 days, depending on the laboratory’s processing time.

Discuss any abnormal results with your healthcare provider, who will guide you on further tests or treatment options based on your specific condition.
