Find Clarity About Your Unexplained Fever and Fatigue
When persistent fever, headache, and body aches disrupt your life after time outdoors, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our Scrub Typhus Antibody Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and appropriate treatment.
Understanding Your Scrub Typhus Antibody Test
This specialised test detects antibodies your body produces when fighting Orientia tsutsugamushi bacteria, the cause of scrub typhus. Using advanced immunochromatography technology, we provide highly accurate results that help your healthcare provider confirm or rule out this infection.
The test requires a simple blood sample with no special preparation needed, making it convenient and stress-free. Your sample is processed the same day when received by 1 pm, ensuring you get answers quickly when you need them most.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms after outdoor activities, farming, or hiking:
- Unexplained fever lasting several days
- Severe headache that doesn’t respond to usual treatments
- Body aches and muscle pain
- Fatigue that interferes with daily activities
- Skin rash or eschar (dark scab-like lesion)
- Recent exposure to rural or grassy areas
Early testing is particularly important for outdoor workers, farmers, hikers, and anyone who spends time in grassy or bushy areas where mites may be present.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early provides significant health advantages:
- Prompt Treatment: Early diagnosis means starting appropriate antibiotics sooner, reducing recovery time
- Complication Prevention: Helps avoid serious complications like pneumonia or meningitis
- Peace of Mind: Eliminates uncertainty about your symptoms
- Accurate Diagnosis: Distinguishes scrub typhus from other fever-causing illnesses
- Health Protection: Enables proper management to protect your long-term wellbeing
Understanding Your Test Results
We make understanding your results straightforward and reassuring:
- Positive Result: Indicates current or recent scrub typhus infection – your healthcare provider will discuss appropriate antibiotic treatment
- Negative Result: Suggests no current infection detected – your symptoms may have another cause worth investigating
- Equivocal Result: May require follow-up testing – we’ll guide you through next steps
