Galactomannan Test In Kolkata

Galactomannan Test In Kolkata

Galactomannan test, commonly known as the serum galactomannan test, is a definitive medical test to diagnose Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA).

  • Aspergillus is a type of fungus found on damped/stale plant items such as peanuts, soybeans, maize and rice.
  • Aspergillus consumption is harmful for us since it affects the respiratory system.
  • The liver detoxifies a little amount of aspergillus consumption (which enters our system through rotten food intake).
  • Aspergillus mainly attacks the lungs and air sacs which causes breathing trouble.
  • If left untreated, the health condition can escalate to pulmonary disorders including Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA) and Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA).
  • Galactomannan is the antibody found in the bloodstream against the antigen, when a person suffers from IPA.

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis can lead to more complicated health conditions. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to a quick recovery. Here are the complete details of why you need it and how you can book a serum galactomannan test in Kolkata.

About Galactomannan Test

Why Is the Galactomannan Test Done?

When a patient with potential aspergillosis symptoms contacts a doctor, the first thing the latter would do is a confirmatory test for aspergillus microbes. Now, there are two distinctive tests for aspergillosis.

  1. Aspergillosis antibody test for Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA).
  2. Galactomannan test for Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA).

The common symptoms of pulmonary aspergillosis are:

  • Cough
  • Coughing up blood
  • Fever
  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath

Determining the type of aspergillosis disorder is crucial to begin the treatment. Serum galactomannan test home collection provides you with the facility to have IPA diagnosed from the comfort of your home.

What Does Galactomannan Test Measure?
  • The preliminary objective of the Galactomannan test is to confirm the presence of this particular type of antibody in the bloodstream.
  • If a Galactomannan antibody is found in the blood, it is concluded that the person is suffering from IPA.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

How should I prepare for the serum galactomannan test?

Serum galactomannan blood test is a simple blood test. It does not even require fasting. Usually, 5 ml of blood sample is required to perform the diagnosis.

Are IPA and CPA the same?

Both CPA and IPA are caused by aspergillus fungal infection. However, the root cause of CPA is aspergillus antigen, whereas, for IPA, galactomannan antigen is responsible.

How can fungal infections be avoided?

Fungal infections are caused by consuming damped or stale food items. Aspergillus grows in abundance on damped peanuts, rice, maize and soybeans. Avoid any form of damped food item to stay safe from aspergillosis. The liver can detoxify a little amount of aspergillus infection, but it always poses a threat to your respiratory system.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
