Overview
Leishmania Donovani IgG Antibody is a blood test used to detect the presence of antibodies against the Leishmania Donovani parasite. This parasite is responsible for causing visceral leishmaniasis, a serious disease that affects the internal organs of the body. The test is performed by collecting a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it for the presence of specific antibodies that are produced in response to the parasite. The results of the test can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease.
Who should do this test?
Individuals who have traveled to or lived in regions where Leishmania donovani is endemic, such as parts of South Asia, East Africa, and South America.
Patients with symptoms consistent with visceral leishmaniasis, such as prolonged fever, weight loss, enlarged spleen, and anemia.
Individuals who have been exposed to sandfly bites, which are the primary mode of transmission for Leishmania donovani.
What to do if the test is abnormal?
It is important to understand that a positive result for Leishmania Donovani IgG Antibody does not necessarily mean that the person has an active infection. It could indicate a past infection or exposure to the parasite.
Further testing may be required to confirm the diagnosis of active infection. This may include a PCR test or a biopsy of affected tissue.
