Overview
Leishmania parasites, transmitted by sandflies, cause a spectrum of diseases in humans, from self-healing skin lesions to life-threatening visceral infections. These parasites invade immune cells, evading the body's defences, leading to chronic infections that can be challenging to treat.
The Aldehyde Chopra Test is a simple and rapid blood test used to diagnose Kala Azar, a parasitic disease transmitted by sandflies. It checks for increased levels of globulins in the blood serum, which the body produces in response to infection.
