The Basic Fever Panel Package offered by MedEX Neo Clinic is specifically designed to help diagnose and assess the underlying causes of fever. Fever is a common symptom indicative of various infections and inflammatory conditions. This panel includes a set of tests that provide valuable insights into the possible causes of fever.
The package begins with a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, which evaluates the various components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. CBC helps identify any abnormalities in cell counts and provides valuable information about possible infections or other underlying conditions.
The Basic Fever Panel also includes an Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test. ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over time, indicating the presence and intensity of inflammation in the body. Elevated ESR levels can indicate underlying inflammatory conditions causing the fever.
The panel incorporates a C-reactive Protein (CRP) test. CRP is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated CRP levels are often associated with infections and other inflammatory processes. This test helps assess the severity and intensity of the inflammatory response contributing to the fever.
The Widal Test is included in the Basic Fever Panel to detect the presence of antibodies against Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi, which are the causative agents of typhoid fever. This test helps diagnose and monitor the progression of typhoid fever.
Furthermore, the package includes a Blood Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) test, which helps identify the presence of bacteria in the blood and determines the most effective antibiotic treatment for a specific infection. Urine tests, including Urine Routine Examination (R/E) and Urine Culture and Sensitivity (C/S), are also part of the panel to evaluate the presence of urinary tract infections, which can cause fever.
The Basic Fever Panel includes tests for Total and Direct Bilirubin to assess liver function. Elevated bilirubin levels can indicate liver dysfunction, which may be associated with certain infections or other underlying conditions causing the fever. SGPT (Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase) is also measured to assess liver health and function.
Overall, the Basic Fever Panel Package offered by MedEX Neo Clinic provides a comprehensive set of tests to help diagnose and identify the underlying causes of fever. Combining multiple tests, it helps determine the presence of infections, inflammation, and other factors contributing to the fever. These tests enable accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategies, ensuring optimal fever management and its underlying causes.
