The Leptospira Test, specifically the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT), is used to diagnose leptospirosis, a bacterial infection caused by Leptospira species. This test detects antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to the bacteria, making it particularly valuable for identifying leptospirosis in individuals exhibiting symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, and jaundice, especially after exposure to contaminated water or animals like rodents, cattle, pigs, or dogs. The test involves taking a blood sample and mixing it with Leptospira antigens in the laboratory; the degree of agglutination (clumping) indicates the presence and level of antibodies. This information helps confirm an infection and guide appropriate treatment.
Testing is recommended as needed based on symptoms such as high fever, headache, muscle pain, red eyes, or recent exposure to potential carriers.
