Comprehensive Fever Panel by Multiplex PCR in Ahmedabad

What is a Fever Panel Test in Ahmedabad?

The Fever Panel Test in Ahmedabad is a modern molecular diagnostic test that helps identify the exact cause of fever by detecting multiple infections in a single blood sample. It uses Multiplex RT-PCR technology, which enables detection of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens with high precision.

This test is especially important in tropical and monsoon-prone regions, where diseases like dengue, malaria, and typhoid are common. Early detection ensures timely treatment and prevents complications.

What Does the Fever Panel Test Measure in Ahmedabad?

The test measures the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of multiple infectious agents present in the blood.

It helps your doctor to:

• Identify the microorganism causing fever
• Detect multiple infections at the same time
• Differentiate between bacterial, viral, and parasitic causes
• Recommend targeted treatment based on accurate diagnosis

This single test eliminates the need for multiple investigations and speeds up diagnosis.

Who Should Consider a Fever Panel Test in Ahmedabad?

Your doctor may suggest this test if you experience:

• Persistent fever for more than 2–3 days
• Chills, fatigue, or severe muscle pain
• Rash, joint pain, or headache
• Nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort
• Recurrent or unexplained fever

Who Needs This Test in Ahmedabad?

The Fever Panel Test is ideal for:

• Individuals with prolonged fever not responding to medicines
• Patients living in or returning from regions with dengue, malaria, or typhoid outbreaks
• Hospitalised patients with unexplained fever
• Immunocompromised individuals at higher risk of infection

Purpose of Fever Panel Test in Ahmedabad

The test helps to:

• Detect and differentiate between common fever-causing pathogens
• Support early diagnosis for faster recovery
• Guide effective treatment to avoid unnecessary antibiotics
• Prevent severe complications from infections such as malaria or dengue

It is an essential diagnostic tool for patients with high fever during seasonal or post-monsoon periods.

Preparation Guidelines for Fever Panel Test in Ahmedabad

To ensure accurate test results:

• No fasting is required.
• Stay hydrated before the test.
• Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or recent infections.
• Provide complete details about symptoms, travel, or contact with sick individuals.

How is a Fever Panel Test Performed?

• A small blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm.
• The sample is processed using Multiplex RT-PCR to identify specific infectious agents.
• The method amplifies pathogen genetic material for detection even in small quantities.
• Results are generated and analysed within 24 hours.

This process ensures a fast and reliable diagnosis to start treatment promptly.

Factors That May Affect Fever Panel Test Accuracy

• Delay in sample transport or improper handling
• Presence of PCR inhibitors in the blood
• Very early or late infection stage with low pathogen load
• Use of antibiotics or antivirals before the test
