Individual tests

Aiding in the diagnosis of Toxocara infection.
It is a quantitative test to measure the level of IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma in the blood.
Toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by a parasite, is mostly symptomless except for those with weak immune systems and babies whose mothers become infected for the first time during pregnancy. Problems can include damage to the brain, eyes, and other organs. It is mainly transmitted through contact with waste from an infected cat or eating contaminated meat.
Trichinella spiralis is a parasite that causes disease in humans. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can lead to pneumonia, kidney, heart, or brain damage, and even death. This test is considered a screening test for Trichinella spiralis. A trichinosis diagnosis requires a compatible patient history and supporting pathologic findings.
Qualitative Varicella zoster virus in blood or cerebrospinal fluid by PCR method
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a virus that causes chickenpox and shingles in non-immunized populations. VZV is highly infectious and is transmitted through contact with infected individuals' ruptured blisters and respiratory secretions. Immunity post-infection is usually lifelong, though the latent virus inhabits the sensory nerve ganglia, where it can reactivate, causing shingles when immunity declines with aging. Detection of specific IgM antibodies is evidence of a current or recent infection. A demonstration of specific IgG to the bacteria is evidence of past infection.

Enteric fever, also known as typhoid fever, is a life-threatening illness caused by infection with the bacterium Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. typhi). It is usually transmitted through food and drinks contaminated with fecal matter. The Widal test is one method of establishing a presumptive diagnosis of this disease.
