Important Serological Tests Provided
Our Serology Laboratory offers many tests to identify autoimmune illnesses, evaluate immunity, and find infections. Our main offerings consist of:
1. HIV Testing
These tests find antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. To guarantee correct diagnosis, we provide confirmation assays as well as fast screening tests.
2. Hepatitis Panel
Determining liver infections requires serology testing for the hepatitis viruses (Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E). By identifying antibodies or antigens unique to every kind of hepatitis virus, these tests support diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of Hepatitis infections.
3. COVID-19 Antibody Test
Identifies whether a person has developed antibodies after perhaps being exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It guides evaluation of past infection or immunity following immunization.
4. Widal Test
By spotting antibodies against Salmonella germs, the Widal test helps to identify **typhoid fever**. It is still a useful instrument particularly in areas where typhoid disease is endemic.
5. Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Test
Test is used to identify rheumatoid factor antibodies in blood. Diagnosing autoimmune disorders compromising the joints depends on it.
6. Syphilis Tests (VDRL and TPHA)
These tests find antibodies against the sexually transmitted infection’s bacterial cause. Usually used for screening, the VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) test yields confirmation from the TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay).
7. Dengue serology
Finds antibodies against the dengue virus, therefore aiding in the diagnosis of dengue illness. Managing symptoms and avoiding complications like dengue hemorrhagic fever depends on early discovery.
8. TORCH Panel
Searches for infections that might compromise expectant mothers and their unborn children. It comprises Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Early infection identification helps to avoid pregnancy problems.
9. Autoimmune Serology Tests
Autoimmune illnesses include lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, and systemic sclerosis are diagnosed with tests including the **Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test** and **Anti-dsDNA test**.
Modern Technology for Correct Results from States of Art
The newest technologies in our **Serology Laboratory** help to guarantee accurate and consistent findings. For high sensitivity and specificity we use automated analyzers, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems, and chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIA). this enables us to:
Automation accelerates processing times, which is vital for time-sensitive disorders including infectious infections.
Using cutting-edge technologies helps us to lower human error and produce outcomes that medical professionals might rely on.
Especially under outbreak conditions or screening campaigns, our lab is able to effectively handle big volumes of samples.
Serological Testing’s Significance
In both the **diagnosis** and **monitoring** of many medical disorders, serology tests are indispensable. These tests are rather crucial for the following reasons:
1. Infectious Disease Diagnosis
Diagnosing viral, bacterial, and parasitic illnesses depends much on serology. Finding antibodies helps to treat and manage diseases by verifying past or present infections.
2. Immunity Assessment
Serology tests help to evaluate immunity levels following vaccination or recovery from an infection. For disorders like COVID-19, where knowledge of antibody levels can direct public health policies, this is extremely crucial.
3. Autoimmune Disease Detection
Diagnosing autoimmune diseases might sometimes difficult. Serology tests aid in the identification of antibodies that incorrectly target body tissues, therefore causing disorders including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
4. Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission
Tests like the TORCH panel enable early intervention by helping to detect infections in pregnant women that might be passed on to the unborn child.
