Detail Description

LEPTOSPIRA DETECTION PCR Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost in India

Leptospirosis, also known as Weil's disease, is a bacterial infection caused by the Leptospira bacteria. It is a zoonotic disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans. The symptoms of leptospirosis can range from mild to severe and may include fever, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, and jaundice. In some cases, the infection can lead to kidney and liver failure, bleeding in the lungs, and even death.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing leptospirosis. One of the diagnostic tests used to detect the presence of Leptospira bacteria is the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test. The PCR test is a molecular biology technique that amplifies a specific DNA segment, allowing for the detection of the bacteria in a patient's blood or urine sample.

PCR Test for Leptospirosis: Symptoms and Diagnosis

The symptoms of leptospirosis can vary and may mimic those of other viral illnesses, making it difficult to diagnose. The PCR test for leptospirosis is a highly specific and sensitive test that can detect the presence of Leptospira DNA in a patient's blood or urine sample. The test involves collecting a blood or urine sample from the patient and then analyzing it in the laboratory. The results of the PCR test are usually available within 24-48 hours.

The PCR test is especially useful in detecting early-stage infections when other diagnostic tests, such as the serological test, may not be effective. The serological test detects the presence of antibodies produced by the body in response to the infection, but it may take several days for these antibodies to develop.

PCR Test for Leptospirosis: Cost in India

The cost of the PCR test for leptospirosis in India can vary depending on the laboratory and location. On average, the cost of the PCR test in India ranges from INR 5000 to INR 8000. Some hospitals and laboratories may offer discounts or packages for multiple tests, so it is always advisable to check with the facility beforehand.

Conclusion

The PCR test is a reliable and accurate diagnostic tool for detecting Leptospira bacteria in patients with suspected leptospirosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing the infection and preventing complications. If you experience any symptoms of leptospirosis, such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and vomiting, seek medical attention immediately. Remember, prevention is always better than cure, so take precautions when in contact with animals or their habitats to avoid contracting the disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the cost of LEPTOSPIRA DETECTION PCR Test?

    Cost of LEPTOSPIRA DETECTION PCR Test is 5000 Rs

  • What is Leptospira

    Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects humans and animals. It is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. In humans, it can cause a wide range of symptoms, some of which may be mistaken for other diseases. Some infected persons, however, may have no symptoms at all.

  • Who is at risk?

    Drinking river water without boiling it or using chemical treatment increases the risk of leptospirosis and other diseases. Leptospirosis is more common in a tropical climate, but it may also occur in the poorer parts of large cities in developing nations that are not in tropical areas.

  • How do you get leptospirosis?

    Leptospirosis is spread in the pee of infected animals – most commonly rats, mice, cows, pigs and dogs.

    You can get leptospirosis if:

    • soil or freshwater (such as water from a river, canal or lake) that contains infected pee gets in your mouth, eyes or a cut – usually during activities like kayaking, outdoor swimming or fishing
    • you touch an infected animal's blood or flesh – usually from working with animals or animal parts
    • It's very rare to get leptospirosis from pets, other people or bites.

  • Transmission and incubation

    Urinary shedding of organisms from infected animals is the most important source of these bacterial pathogens. Contact with the organism via infected urine or urine-contaminated media results in human infection. Such media include contaminated water and food, as well as animal bedding, soil, mud, and aborted tissue. 

  • Treatment and Prevention

    Leptospirosis can be treated with antibiotics, including penicillin and doxycycline. Your doctor may also recommend ibuprofen for fever and muscle pain The disease should run its course in about a week. Avoid contaminated water. If you're in a developing country, don't drink the water unless you're sure it's clean. But because leptospirosis can enter through other body openings, it's also a good idea to avoid swimming, waterskiing, sailing, or fishing in freshwater areas. 

  • Sex- and age-related differences in incidence

    No evidence suggests that leptospirosis affects persons of various races, ages, or sexes differently. However, because occupational exposure constitutes a major risk for the development of disease, a disproportionate number of working-aged males seem to be affected.

  • What is the cost of Leptospira?

    Leptospira test costs 5000 Rs

  • How many days does it take for reports?

    Reports takes 8-10 working days
