HSV 1/2 (IgG + IGM) Antibodies
HSV 1/2 IgG and IgM tests are blood tests used to detect antibodies to the herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. HSV 1 is typically causes oral lesions and HSV 2 causes genital lesions. IgG antibodies indicate past exposure or infection, while IgM antibodies suggest a recent infection. These tests help diagnose herpes […]
Zika IgM
Zika IgM refers to immunoassay testing the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies specific to the Zika virus antigen. Zika virus is transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes or body fluids. Positive IgM result indicates recent active infection with Zika virus, produced within days after infection. Zika IgM testing helps healthcare professionals with […]
Zika IgG
Zika IgG refers to immunoassay testing the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in blood specific to the Zika virus. Zika virus transfers through the Aedes mosquitoes or body fluids. Zika IgG testing is recommended by healthcare professionals based on travel history, symptoms consistent with infection, pregnancy with potential exposure and surveillance. Special packaging and […]
Varicella Zoster Antibody IgM
The Varicella Zoster Antibody IgM test detects IgM antibodies against the virus causing chickenpox and shingles. A positive result suggests recent or active infection. This indicates the current Varicella Zoster virus presence. Healthcare professionals rely on this test to detect recent infections and assess varicella-zoster virus immunization status, aiding in timely diagnosis and management of […]
Varicella Zoster Antibody IgG
The Varicella Zoster Antibody IgG test measures the level of IgG antibodies against the Varicella Zoster virus, which causes chickenpox and shingles. A positive result indicates past exposure to the virus or vaccination, providing immunity. This test helps confirm immunity, assess vaccination effectiveness, and diagnose prior Varicella Zoster virus infection.
Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo) IgM Ab
The Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo) IgM Antibody test detects Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. A positive result indicates a recent or active infection, indicating the person is infected. Healthcare professionals use this test to diagnose acute and recent infections, especially for pregnant women, and adapt necessary management strategies. Recommend ordering with Toxoplasma […]
Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo) IgG Ab
The Toxoplasma gondii (Toxo) IgG Antibody test detects Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. A positive result indicates past exposure to the parasite, through an earlier infection. Healthcare professionals use the Toxo IgG Antibody test to determine the risk of toxoplasmosis and guide appropriate medical management, especially during pregnancy.
Syphilis TP Screen
The syphilis screening test is used to screen the syphilis infection caused by Treponema pallidum. Healthcare professionals utilize this test when there is a suspicion of infection to diagnose the disease promptly and initiate appropriate treatment. A positive result may then be followed up with more specific tests to confirm the diagnosis. If Syphilis TP […]
Syphilis TP IgM
The Syphilis TP IgM test detects IgM antibodies against Treponema pallidum, a bacterium that causes syphilis. A positive result indicates a recent or active syphilis infection. Healthcare professionals use this test to diagnose acute syphilis infections, particularly in cases of suspected exposure or early symptoms, which helps in guiding appropriate treatment and prevention of further […]
Syphilis TP Confirmation WB
Syphilis TP Confirmation Western Blot (WB) is used to confirm presence of antibodies to Treponema pallidum (TP), causative of syphilis. It helps to confirm Screening test in conjunction with Rapid Plasma Reagin test. Treponemal antigens blotted onto membrane is incubated with patient’s serum. Visualization of bound antibodies is done with detection method. Confirmation by WB […]
