2. WIDAL
The Widal test involves collecting a blood sample and testing it for antibodies against Salmonella typhi and related serotypes.
No, the Widal test specifically detects antibodies against Salmonella typhi and is not used to diagnose other infections.
Positive results indicate exposure to Salmonella typhi, suggesting current or past infection, while negative results indicate no significant antibody response.
Recent vaccination against typhoid fever or certain medications may interfere with the accuracy of Widal test results.
The Widal test provides supportive evidence for diagnosing typhoid fever but is often used in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests for confirmation.
3. HCV RNA
The HCV RNA Test detects and measures the presence of Hepatitis C virus RNA in the blood, indicating an active infection and viral load.
The test is used to confirm Hepatitis C infection, assess viral load, evaluate treatment response, and check for relapse.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.
Results are usually available within 1 to 3 days after the test.
A high viral load indicates a higher quantity of Hepatitis C virus in the blood, suggesting more active infection and potentially more severe disease.
