HomeLab TestFebrile Antigens
Overview
The Febrile Antigens test detects the presence of antibodies in the blood against specific pathogens that cause fever, such as bacteria or viruses. It helps diagnose infections like typhoid fever, brucellosis, or leptospirosis.
Risk assessment
The Febrile Antigens test is a standard blood test with minimal risk. The primary risk is related to the blood draw, which may cause minor bruising, bleeding, or infection at the puncture site.
Ranges
The interpretation of Febrile Antigens test results depends on the specific antibodies being tested and the cutoff values established by the laboratory.
Test result interpretation
Positive result: Indicates the presence of antibodies against the specific pathogen being tested, suggesting current or past infection.
Negative result: Indicates the absence of detectable antibodies against the pathogen.
Sample types
A blood sample is required, typically drawn from a vein in the arm. The sample is then processed in the laboratory to detect antibodies against specific pathogens.
