HISTOPATHOLOGY DIRECT IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE DIF SKIN CONJUNCTIVAL BIOPSY PANEL Test
Test Cost: AED 640.0
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The Histopathology Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF) Skin/Conjunctival Biopsy Panel test is a diagnostic procedure used to examine skin or conjunctival tissue samples for the presence of specific antibodies and immune complexes. This test is primarily used to diagnose autoimmune diseases that affect the skin or conjunctiva, such as pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, or systemic lupus erythematosus.

Test Details
The Histopathology Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF) Skin/Conjunctival Biopsy Panel test is a diagnostic procedure used to examine skin or conjunctival tissue samples for the presence of specific antibodies and immune complexes. This test is primarily used to diagnose autoimmune diseases that affect the skin or conjunctiva, such as pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, or systemic lupus erythematosus.
During the DIF test, the tissue sample is treated with fluorescent-labeled antibodies that bind to specific antigens or immune complexes. The sample is then examined under a microscope equipped with a fluorescence detector. If the target antigens or immune complexes are present in the tissue, they will emit a characteristic fluorescence signal, indicating a positive result.
The DIF Skin/Conjunctival Biopsy Panel test can provide valuable information about the underlying cause of skin or conjunctival lesions, helping to guide appropriate treatment and management decisions. It is typically performed by dermatologists or ophthalmologists with expertise in immunofluorescence microscopy.
