Fever Profile Maxi Test

The Fever Profile (Maxi) measures a comprehensive array of diagnostic parameters to systematically investigate the underlying factors contributing to fever. This profile includes assessments of blood components, inflammation markers, potential infections, liver function, and specific antibodies viz. Complete Blood Count (CBC Haemogram), Routine Examination Urine, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Malaria Parasite Detection, Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT), Typhi Dot IgM, and Culture & Sensitivity for aerobic bacteria.

• Comprehensive Assessment: To obtain a thorough understanding of the underlying factors causing fever. • Complex Cases: Especially useful for cases with persistent, recurrent, or unexplained fever. • Multifactorial Causes: When fever could be attributed to multiple factors such as infections, inflammations, or systemic conditions. • Diagnosis: To identify a range of potential infections, including viral, bacterial, and other pathogens. • Inflammation Evaluation: To assess inflammation markers and systemic responses. • Liver Function: To gauge liver health, as some liver disorders can lead to fever. • Specific Antibodies: To detect the presence of antibodies against specific pathogens like typhoid, dengue, or others. • Tailored Treatment: To guide healthcare providers in formulating targeted treatment strategies. • Optimal Patient Care: To ensure accurate diagnosis and management for improved patient outcomes. • Health Insights: To gain insights into the patient's overall health and potential underlying conditions.

The Fever Profile (Maxi) is recommended and should be considered by: • Individuals with prolonged or recurrent fever without a clear diagnosis. • Patients with complex or atypical symptoms accompanying fever. • Those who have been exposed to specific regions or outbreaks of infectious diseases. • Individuals with suspected systemic infections or autoimmune disorders. • People with potential exposure to multiple febrile-causing factors. • Patients with persistent fever despite initial treatment. • Individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions. • Cases where the cause of fever remains uncertain after initial assessments. • Those with severe symptoms accompanying fever. • Individuals requiring a comprehensive and detailed assessment due to the complexity of their condition.

Abnormal results may indicate a range of underlying conditions, including infections, inflammations, liver dysfunction, or other health concerns.

During the Fever Profile (Maxi), blood and urine samples will be collected for analysis. These samples will be examined for blood cell counts, inflammation markers, antigen presence, liver enzyme levels, and specific antibodies, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's condition.

Preparations for the Fever Profile (Maxi) generally involve following any specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider. This may include fasting before certain tests or adjusting medication intake as advised.

Depending on the results and suspected conditions, additional tests such as imaging studies, specific pathogen testing, or more in-depth organ function assessments may be recommended to enhance the diagnostic process.

• Comprehensive Fever Diagnostic Panel • Extensive Febrile Illness Profile

This test assesses various components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. It helps diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, and blood disorders.

Also known as urinalysis, it analyzes physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine. It aids in detecting kidney function, urinary tract infections, and other underlying conditions.

This test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube over time. It's a nonspecific indicator of inflammation and can help identify infections or inflammatory conditions.

This test identifies the presence of Plasmodium parasites in the blood, helping diagnose malaria, a mosquito-borne disease characterized by fever, chills, and other symptoms.

Also known as ALT, this enzyme is found in the liver. Elevated levels in the blood can indicate liver damage or disease, including infections like hepatitis.

Typhi Dot IgM is a test used to detect specific antibodies (IgM) produced by the body in response to Salmonella Typhi, the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever. This test helps diagnose typhoid fever, a significant cause of prolonged fever in some regions.

This test involves culturing a blood sample to identify any potential bacterial infections in the bloodstream. It also includes sensitivity testing to determine which antibiotics are effective against the detected bacteria. Bloodstream infections can lead to fever and severe health complications.
