Find Peace of Mind with Accurate Scrub Typhus Detection
When unexplained fever, headache, and body aches strike after time outdoors, it’s natural to feel concerned. Scrub typhus, transmitted through mite bites, can mimic many other illnesses, leaving you uncertain about your health. Our Scrub Typhus RNA Detection Test provides the clarity you need through advanced molecular testing that directly detects the infection’s genetic material.
Understanding Your Scrub Typhus RNA Test
This qualitative test uses cutting-edge Real-Time PCR technology to detect Orientia tsutsugamushi RNA in your blood sample. Unlike antibody tests that can take weeks to become positive, RNA detection identifies active infection early, often before severe symptoms develop. The test specifically looks for the genetic signature of the bacteria, providing highly accurate results you can trust for making informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms after outdoor activities, farming, hiking, or camping:
- Persistent fever that doesn’t respond to usual treatments
- Severe headache and muscle pain
- Characteristic eschar (dark scab) at the bite site
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Rash developing 5-7 days after fever begins
- Recent exposure to rural or grassy areas
Early testing is particularly important for outdoor workers, farmers, hikers, and anyone with compromised immunity.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Timely diagnosis of scrub typhus prevents serious complications that can affect your lungs, heart, brain, and kidneys. Early treatment with appropriate antibiotics leads to complete recovery, while delayed diagnosis can result in prolonged illness and hospitalisation. This test provides:
