KALA AZAR ANTIBODY RAPID TEST

The kala-azar antibody rapid test detects antibodies against Leishmania donovani, the parasite that causes kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis). This test is used to diagnose active kala-azar infections, which can cause symptoms such as fever, weight loss, and enlargement of the spleen and liver. A positive result indicates an active infection, prompting immediate medical attention and appropriate treatment. The test is valuable for identifying kala-azar infections, guiding treatment decisions, and implementing public health measures to control the spread of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing complications and managing kala-azar effectively.
