Individual tests

There are two major proteins in the blood. Albumin helps keep blood from leaking out of blood vessels and moves other important substances throughout the body, while globulins help fight infection and move nutrients throughout the body. The A/G ratio compares the amount of albumin in your blood to the amount of globulin. This test helps diagnose kidney disease, liver disease, or nutritional problems.
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.
