Who Should Consider This Combo?

• History of Recurring Fevers: Patients who are more likely to contract diseases like typhoid, malaria, or dengue should be tested through this panel for a comprehensive diagnosis.
• Travellers returning from the endemic region: Anyone who has returned with malaria, typhoid, dengue fever, or another infectious disease-carrying endemic region should be tested out to eliminate the possibilities.
• Those persons at risk environments: Individuals who live in their workplaces under a higher risk of exposure to mosquito-borne infections or contaminated sources of water should have this panel for the early diagnosis of possible infections.
• Weakened immune patients: The elderly or those suffering from chronic diseases may need to get diagnosed with fever-related conditions early.

What Tests are Included in Apollo Fever Panel Comprehensive?

The Apollo Fever Panel Comprehensive is a focused panel of diagnostic tests that aims to identify the underlying cause of fever. They are as follows:

Test 1: Complete Urine Examination

Analyses urine for abnormalities such as signs of infection, kidney disease, or other urinary tract disorders.

• Physical examination: It determines the colour, transparency, pH and specific gravity of the urine. 
• Biochemical examination: It examines protein, leucocyte esterase, glucose, bilirubin, ketone bodies, urobilinogen, and nitrite in the urine. 
• Centrifuged sediment wet mount and microscopy: It examines the presence of pus cells, epithelial cells, RBC, casts and crystals.

Test 2: C-Reactive Protein (CRP) (Quantitative)

Measures the level of CRP in the blood, a marker of inflammation that can indicate infection, tissue injury, or chronic inflammatory conditions.

Test 3: Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Assesses overall blood health to screen for anaemia, infections, and other blood disorders.

• Haemoglobin: Measures the concentration of oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
• PCV (Packed Cell Volume): Indicates the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells.
• RBC Count (Red blood cell count): Measures the number of red blood cells per volume of blood.
• MCV (Mean corpuscular volume): Reflects the average volume of red blood cells.
• MCH (Mean corpuscular haemoglobin): Determines the average amount of haemoglobin per red blood cell.
• MCHC (Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration): Indicates the concentration of haemoglobin in red blood cells.
• RDW (Red cell distribution width): Assesses the variation in size of red blood cells.
• TLC (Total Leucocyte Count), DLC (Differential Leucocyte Count), ALC (Absolute Leukocyte Count): Evaluate the total number, differential number, absolute number and types of white blood cells and platelet count present in a blood sample.

Test 4: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

Evaluates the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube of blood, which can be elevated in the presence of inflammation, infection, or certain autoimmune diseases.

Test 5: Typhidot - IgM

Detects Salmonella typhi antibodies (IgM) in the blood, used to diagnose acute typhoid fever, typically within the first week of infection.

Test 6: Chikungunya IgM

Detects specific IgM antibodies of Chikungunya in the blood, meaning you're currently infected or you had the Chikungunya virus recently. Chikungunya is one of the alphaviruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes with symptoms such as very high fever, joint pain, and rash.

Test 7: Dengue IgG & IgM- Elisa

Measures both IgG and IgM antibodies against the dengue virus to determine if a person is currently infected or has had a past infection. IgM antibodies indicate a recent infection. IgG antibodies suggest a past infection or long-term immunity.

Test 8: Peripheral Smear for Malarial Parasite (MP)

This test examines a blood smear under a microscope to detect the presence of Plasmodium parasites, which cause malaria. It identifies the specific species of the parasite and the stage of infection.

Test 9: Widal Test (Slide Method)

Used to diagnose typhoid and paratyphoid fever by detecting antibodies against Salmonella bacteria in the blood. 

Test 10: Malarial Antigen (Vivax and Falciparum)

Detects specific antigens produced by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum, the parasites that cause malaria. It provides quicker results compared to microscopic methods.

Test 11: Dengue NS1 Antigen

Detects the Dengue NS1 antigen in the blood, which is present during the early stages of Dengue fever. It is highly sensitive in the first few days after the onset of fever and is used for early diagnosis.
