Fever Panel Basic – Mini [LIMRA CLINIC]

What it is

The Fever Panel Basic – Mini at LIMRA Clinic is a simplified diagnostic package designed to quickly identify the most common infections that cause fever. It provides an affordable and focused screening for tropical and seasonal illnesses, helping doctors make timely treatment decisions.

Uses

This panel is used to detect the leading causes of fever in endemic regions. At LIMRA Clinic, the Basic – Mini package typically includes:

• Dengue NS1 Antigen / IgM: For early detection of dengue virus infection.
• Malaria Antigen (Rapid test or peripheral smear): To identify Plasmodium parasites responsible for malaria.
• Typhoid IgM / Widal Test: To screen for Salmonella typhi infection.

This version excludes extended tests such as complete blood count (CBC) or inflammatory markers, focusing only on the most critical fever-causing infections.

Symptoms That May Lead to the Test

Doctors at LIMRA Clinic may recommend this panel if you present with persistent or acute fever along with chills, muscle or joint pain, headache, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, rash, or unexplained fatigue. It is particularly useful when a quick, targeted evaluation is needed.

Abnormal Results

Positive Result for Dengue, Malaria, or Typhoid: Confirms the specific infection and helps doctors begin immediate treatment.

Negative Result: Suggests the need for further investigations or an advanced fever panel to rule out other infectious causes.

Risks

The panel requires a simple blood sample. Risks are minimal and may include mild pain, bruising, or lightheadedness at the puncture site, all of which are temporary and uncommon.
