| Turnaround | Same‑day report (sample received by 9 am) | 2–3 days typical |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA Registration ID: 36234132) shares: “As a General Practitioner, I emphasise that a positive Scrub Typhus IgM result must always be correlated with clinical findings such as fever, eschar, and lymphadenopathy. This test’s high sensitivity supports early therapeutic intervention, but confirmatory PCR testing is warranted in atypical presentations. Never base clinical decisions solely on a single antibody result.”
Medication Advisory
⚠️ Important Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue or adjust prescribed antibiotic therapy without consulting your physician. Scrub typhus requires directed antibiotic treatment (typically doxycycline) under proper medical supervision.
