Fever Tests
Fever tests are diagnostic evaluations used to determine the underlying cause of a fever. Fevers can be caused by a variety of conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, and other medical conditions. Identifying the cause of a fever helps healthcare providers develop appropriate treatment plans. Common fever tests include:
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures the levels of different blood cells, which can help detect infections, inflammation, and other blood-related conditions.
Blood Culture: Detects the presence of bacteria or fungi in the blood, indicating a bloodstream infection (septicemia).
Urinalysis: Examines the content of urine to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney infections, and other conditions affecting the urinary system.
Urine Culture: Identifies specific bacteria or fungi causing a urinary tract infection by growing them in a lab from a urine sample.
Chest X-ray: Creates images of the chest to detect lung infections (pneumonia), tuberculosis, and other respiratory conditions.
Throat Swab and Culture: Involves taking a sample from the throat to identify bacterial or viral infections, such as streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat).
Stool Sample: Analyzes stool for pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites causing gastrointestinal infections.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs): Measures enzymes and proteins in the blood to assess liver function and detect liver infections (hepatitis) or inflammation.
C-reactive Protein (CRP) Test: Measures the level of CRP, a marker of inflammation that can be elevated in infections and inflammatory conditions.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test: Measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a tube of blood, which can be elevated in infections, inflammation, and other conditions.
Viral Panel: Detects specific viral infections such as influenza, dengue, COVID-19, and others through blood or swab tests.
Malaria Test: Detects the presence of malaria parasites in the blood, which can cause fever.
Typhoid Test: Identifies the presence of Salmonella typhi bacteria, which cause typhoid fever.
Tuberculosis (TB) Test: Includes the Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) to detect TB infection.
Rheumatic Fever Tests: Include antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer and other tests to detect an immune response to streptococcal infection, which can cause rheumatic fever.
Autoimmune Disease Tests: Detect autoimmune conditions that may cause fever, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

What do the results mean?
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the when an unknown printer on took a galley of type scrambled it to make a type specimen book it has survived and not five centuries be also the leap into electronic typesetting remaining essentially and unchanged. It was popularised in with the release sheets containing passages and more recently with desktop.
