Overview of the MP Antigen Test

Antigens are proteins released by malaria-causing parasites. A Malaria Antigen test detects the presence of these antigens in the bloodstream.

Malaria, a potentially life-threatening disease found in tropical regions, is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. It can outspread from one infected person to many, unlike how cold or flu spreads. Malaria is transmitted when the mosquito bites an infected person, takes in the parasites while sucking the blood, bites uninfected people, and releases the malaria-causing parasite into their bloodstream. It is essential to diagnose malaria soon for the correct treatment and care. The doctor advises one or more Malaria Tests as per the symptoms to confirm the presence of malaria parasites and their strength, which help the doctor, prepare a treatment plan.

When is the Malaria Antigen Test Prescribed?

Malaria is a life-threatening disease, and early detection is the key to avoiding any severity and aiding in effective treatment. It is only after the symptoms of the illness appear that the doctor advises the patient to undergo blood tests related to malaria, including the antigen test. Usually, a body starts showing the symptoms after 7-14 days of getting infected by the mosquito. However, it may take longer for the symptoms to appear in some individuals as parasites can live in the body without causing any signs for weeks to months. As a precaution, people who have visited a tropical country where malaria can be common must undergo a Malaria test after consulting with a doctor.

Following are the common symptoms of Malaria:

Another key symptom an infected person may experience is a malaria attack that comes in cycles. It starts with shivering and chills, leading to a high body temperature that results in discomfort and sweating. A person gets back to normal after a while, and then the cycle repeats.

Pre-requisites for the Malaria AG Test

The lab test for detecting and diagnosing Malaria, such as the Malaria AG test, is a blood test that requires no special preparation. Only a small amount of blood is needed either by pricking a finger or drawing through a vein in the arm (depends on the type of Malaria test prescribed). The sample is sent to a lab for assessment thereafter.
