Find best Leptospira Test (Microscopic Agglutination Test) price at EAST AVENUE by Hi-Precision in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. The Leptospira Test, specifically the Microscopic Agglutination Test or MAT, is an important laboratory test used for diagnosing leptospirosis, a serious bacterial infection caused by Leptospira species. This test works by detecting antibodies in the blood that develop in response to the bacteria, which is essential for identifying leptospirosis in patients showing symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, yellowing of the skin (jaundice), fatigue, chills, and general malaise. Symptoms may also include red eyes, dark urine, nausea, and diarrhea, often following exposure to contaminated water or animals like rodents, cattle, pigs, or dogs. During the test, a blood sample is collected and sent to the lab, where it is mixed with Leptospira antigens to observe agglutination. The degree of clumping reveals the presence and level of antibodies, aiding in infection confirmation and guiding treatment decisions. Testing is advised for those with pertinent symptoms or recent exposure to potential carriers. Ensure your health with an accurate Leptospira diagnosis using the MAT at Hi-Precision.
