🧪 Verified Diagnostic

Mantoux (PPD) Skin Test

The Mantoux (PPD) Skin Test is a diagnostic tool used to determine if an individual has been exposed to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB). A small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) is injected under the skin, and the test is read 48-72 hours later to check for a reaction, helping to identify latent or active TB infections.

Microbiology & Parasitology

Urine Culture & Sensitivity

A Urine Culture & Sensitivity test identifies specific bacteria or yeast responsible for a urinary tract infection (UTI) and tests which antibiotics are most effective in treating the infection. This test is crucial for guiding appropriate treatment and ensuring faster recovery.

Serology & Immunology

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test measures the level of CRP in the blood, which rises in response to inflammation or infection. This test is commonly used to assess the presence and intensity of inflammatory conditions, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and infections.

Interventional Radiology

CT Myelogram Fluid with drain

A CT Myelogram Fluid with drain is a diagnostic imaging test that combines computed tomography (CT) and myelography to visualize the spinal cord and nerve roots after the injection of a contrast dye into the cerebrospinal fluid. This test helps identify conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other abnormalities affecting the spine and nerve tissue.

Hematology

Basophils

The Basophils test measures the absolute number or percentage of basophils in the blood, a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in immune responses, especially in allergic reactions and inflammation. This test is useful for diagnosing allergies, certain infections, and other hematological conditions.

Serology & Immunology

Widal Test (Typhoid Screening)

The Widal test is a serological screening used to detect antibodies produced in response to Salmonella typhi infection, which causes typhoid fever. It helps in diagnosing enteric fever by measuring specific agglutinins in the blood, aiding in appropriate treatment decisions.

Microbiology & Parasitology

Cholera Rapid Antigen Test

The Cholera Rapid Antigen Test is a diagnostic tool used to quickly detect the presence of Vibrio cholerae antigens in stool samples, especially during suspected cholera outbreaks. This test is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective response to prevent the spread of cholera.
