A fever panel blood test is a group of tests used to diagnose the cause of a fever, especially when the cause is not immediately clear. These tests help identify infections like malaria, dengue, typhoid, and other conditions that can cause a fever.
What does a fever panel include?
A fever panel typically includes a variety of tests, with the specific tests varying based on the healthcare provider and the patient’s symptoms. Some common tests included in a fever panel are:
Complete Blood Count (CBC):Evaluates blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) to detect infections or inflammation.
Urinalysis:Checks for signs of urinary tract infections or other infections that may cause fever.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR):Measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube, which can indicate inflammation.
Malaria Test:Detects malaria parasites in the blood.
Typhidot Test:Detects antibodies against Salmonella typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever.
Widal Test:Another test for typhoid fever.
Dengue NS1 Antigen Test:Detects dengue fever.
SGOT/SGPT (Liver function tests):Assess liver function, which can be affected by infections.
