Antigens are proteins released by malaria-causing parasites. A Malaria Antigen test detects the presence of these antigens in the bloodstream.
Only in tropical regions do people get malaria, which is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Malaria is a potentially fatal disease. It can spread from one sick person to many, in contrast to how the flu or a cold spreads. After biting an infected individual and sucking up the parasites as it sucks blood, the mosquito then bites an uninfected person and releases the parasite that causes malaria into their system. Malaria spreads in this way. Malaria must be identified as soon as possible in order to receive the proper care and treatment. In line with the patient's symptoms, the doctor may recommend one or more Malaria Tests to determine the presence and severity of malaria parasites, which helps the doctor develop a treatment plan.
Malaria is a condition that can be fatal, and early detection is crucial to lowering the disease's severity and facilitating successful treatment. A patient is not advised to have bloodwork for malaria, including the antigen test, until the first symptoms of the illness appear. Usually, 7 to 14 days after a mosquito bite, the body starts to show the symptoms. Since parasites can remain dormant in the body for weeks or months without causing any symptoms, it may take longer for the symptoms to appear in some individuals. Everyone who has visited a tropical country where malaria is a possibility has to get tested for malaria as a precaution after speaking with a doctor.
Following are the common symptoms of Malaria:
Another significant symptom that a person who has the disease might experience are cyclical malaria attacks. Chills and shivering are the first symptoms, which advance to a high body temperature that causes pain and perspiration. Things eventually get back to normal, and the cycle is repeated.
One blood test that can be used to identify and diagnose malaria is the Malaria AG test, which doesn't require any special preparation. Only a small amount of blood needs to be obtained from an arm vein or a finger prick (depending on the type of Malaria test prescribed). After that, the sample is taken to a lab for analysis.
Within one day of the sample's collection, Max Lab can provide a Malaria test result. The test report can be downloaded from Max Lab's website or picked up there.
