Overview of the Chikungunya PCR, CSF Test

The monsoon season is known to be a time when instances of vector-borne ailments, like malaria, dengue, and chikungunya, are quite high. The moisture present in the air and accumulated rainwater during the monsoons are perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes that are responsible for spreading these diseases. Chikungunya is caused by the bite of an infected Aedes albopictus mosquito. The mosquito-borne disease can be transmitted from one person to another and is characterised by a sudden onset of fever, rashes, and debilitating joint pain. In such cases, a Chikungunya PCR, CSF test in Dumdum, Kolkata may be prescribed by doctors to help them diagnose the disease. The chikungunya RT PCR is based on the Polymerase Chain Reaction, which is used to amplify trace amounts of RNA and DNA in blood sample, so the presence of the virus may be detected. Usually, symptoms of chikungunya start appearing about 3-7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Some of the symptoms that are associated with chikungunya, and may lead a doctor to prescribe a rapid diagnostic test in Dumdum, Kolkata for chikungunya include:

Fever

Nausea

Fatigue

Severe joint pain

Frequent or severe headaches

Rashes on the skin

Eye issues like conjunctivitis

If an individual is displaying these symptoms, or if they have recently visited an area with an outbreak of chikungunya fever, they should consult a doctor as soon as possible. As several symptoms of chikungunya can also be observed in other diseases, like dengue or malaria, which are also quite common during the monsoons, the Chikungunya PCR, CSF test in Dumdum, Kolkata can also help in ruling out other diseases. While a positive result may signify infection by the chikungunya virus, negative results, may lead to the prescription of other follow-up test in Dumdum, Kolkatas for a conclusive diagnosis of what is causing the symptoms to appear. It is important to rule out or detect the presence of the chikungunya virus at the earliest. If left untreated, chikungunya can lead to several serious medical conditions and may even be fatal.
