Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA: 36234132): “As a clinician, I understand the urgency of a febrile patient’s journey. This quantitative PCR result must be correlated with your clinical symptoms and travel history. Please maintain all prescribed antimalarials unless your doctor advises otherwise.”
Advisory: Adherence to Prescribed Treatment
Do not discontinue or alter antimalarial therapy without consulting your physician. Even if symptoms improve, completing the full course is necessary to prevent relapse and drug resistance. Our test results are intended to guide, not replace, clinical judgment.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Malaria (P. vivax) Quantitative Test measure?
This test quantifies Plasmodium vivax DNA in blood, providing an exact parasite count per microliter. It enables monitoring of treatment response, detection of relapsing hypnozoites if combined with other markers, and guides radical cure with primaquine after G6PD testing.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
No fasting is required, but you must sign a consent form and bring your clinical history. Prior antimalarial treatment details and travel history are crucial for accurate interpretation. Our home collection service ensures a comfortable experience—just hydrate normally and avoid strenuous exercise 30 minutes before collection.
3. How fast will I receive my results?
Results are emailed within 36 hours and can be available by phone in 24 hours. This rapid TAT ensures that treatment decisions are not delayed, especially in cases of suspected drug resistance. Same‑day reporting may be arranged for urgent clinical needs upon request.
