Know more about this test

The Filaria Antigen test is a blood test used to detect the presence of specific antigens released by adult filarial worms. These worms cause lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic disease. This test is used to identify an ongoing filarial infection, allowing for early detection and guiding appropriate treatment options. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Amritsar.

The Filaria Antigen test is recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms like unexplained swelling, fever, or lymphatic inflammation. It is also used to screen individuals in endemic regions or travelers returning from these areas who may have been exposed to filarial infections. Moreover, it helps distinguish between past exposure and current active infection, crucial for effective management and treatment decisions.

No special preparation is required for the Filaria Antigen test. Eat and drink as per the daily routine.

What does Filaria Antigen measure?

The Filaria Antigen test is a qualitative rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of antigens in the blood, which are proteins released by adult female filarial worms. This test is helpful because it can detect these antigens before the worms’ larvae (microfilariae) appear in the blood, allowing for early detection of the infection.

The filarial antigens are usually found when the infection is active and are good markers for identifying people who are currently infected, as well as whether the infection is recent or ongoing. A positive result means there is an active infection, while a negative result can rule out the disease. This test is important for managing lymphatic filariasis, helping to prevent serious long-term problems like elephantiasis, and reducing the risk of spreading the infection, especially in areas where the disease is common.
