Comprehensive Viral Respiratory & Fever Panel Test

Used to provide information on general disease conditions and overall health. Additionally, if an abnormal cell or an excess or shortage of a particular type of blood cell is found, this test may be used to identify blood cancers. The test consists of:

1. Hematocrit: This test measures the amount of red blood cells (RBCs) in the blood.
   
2. Hemoglobin: It is a blood protein that transports oxygen or carbon dioxide in the blood.
3. Mean Corpuscular Value (MCV): Measures the amount of hemoglobin per RBC.
4. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC): This test measures the amount of hemoglobin concentrated in a given volume of RBCs.
5. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): Measures the difference of red blood cell size or volume in a given blood sample.
6. Percentage and Absolute Differential Counts: Measures the number of various white blood cell (WBC) types within the blood.
7. Platelet count: This test measures the number of platelets in blood that are responsible for blood clotting.
8. Red Blood Cell Count (RBC): It measures the number of RBCs in blood, responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body.
9. White Blood Cell Count (WBC): It measures the number of WBCs in the blood, which defend the body against infections and foreign bodies.

Used to detect abnormal substances in urine. Detecting and measuring the levels of these substances can reveal the presence of several disorders. Kidney disease or infection may lead to the appearance of blood cells, bilirubin, bacteria, pus cells, and epithelial cells in urine.

Used to determine the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood. The liver is responsible for the production of CRP in response to inflammation.

Used to detect the presence of non-structural (NS1) antigen in your blood. The NS1 antigen is a protein produced by the dengue virus in your blood. The NS1 antigen test helps identify dengue fever and is accurate for the first 7 days of infection. A rapid test is a quick and accurate method for determining the presence of the NS1 dengue viral antigen in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. This test helps to diagnose the acute phase of primary and secondary dengue infections.

Used to measure the level of interleukin-6 in the blood. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an endogenous cytokine that is produced in response to inflammation, tissue injuries, and infections. This test is especially useful for autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Used to detect the presence of malarial parasite in the blood sample. Comprehensive information about the types of parasitemia, its density, and phases can be obtained through the examination of a peripheral blood smear.

Used to detect antibodies to the SARS COV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. This test is performed to help identify individuals infected with the SARS-COV-2 virus or who have recovered from COVID-19.

Used to detect IgM antibodies produced in response to Salmonella typhi infection in the body. Typhoid, commonly known as enteric fever, is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. When bacteria infect the body, the immune system produces various antibodies to fight the illness. An IgM antibody is one of these antibodies that are produced during an early infection. This test is performed to determine the cause of any persistent fever or the presence of signs and symptoms of typhoid fever.

This test is done to detect enterovirus, adenovirus, bocavirus, corona virus, human metapneumovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus, and influenza virus. It also tests for and offers subtyping of influenza, parainfluenza, RSV, and corona virus.
