The test is performed on a 2 mL serum sample, with next‑day reporting and a cost of 210 AED, ensuring rapid, accurate guidance for primary care physicians, anti‑aging specialists, and infectious disease consultants across the UAE.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh DHA: 36234132
“Having treated numerous patients with potential Leishmania exposure in community practice, I recognise the anxiety that a possible diagnosis brings. A positive IgG result reflects past or chronic exposure; it must be correlated with clinical symptoms, PCR, or antigen tests to confirm active disease. Our team provides result interpretation and, when necessary, coordinates referrals to infectious disease specialists without unnecessary delay.”
Safety Advisory: Important Precautions
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Safety Exclusion & Red Flags
- Acute febrile illness (>38.5°C) – may interfere with antibody kinetics.
- Recent blood transfusion or immunomodulatory therapy (within 6 weeks).
- Immunocompromised status (false‑negative risk); request antigen‑based assay if suspicion is high.
- Seek emergency care immediately if you experience: persistent high fever, progressive splenomegaly (left upper quadrant pain), severe weight loss, jaundice, or bleeding tendency.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive Leishmania IgG test mean?
A positive IgG result indicates past exposure to Leishmania parasites; active disease requires additional clinical correlation. Patients with prior travel to endemic areas should consult their physician to differentiate between past infection and current visceral or cutaneous involvement.
2. How should I prepare for the Leishmania IgG test?
No special preparation is required; a simple venous blood draw of 2 mL serum is sufficient. Continue your usual diet and medications unless otherwise directed by your physician.
3. Is home collection available for this test?
Yes, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature‑Controlled Cold‑Chain Home Collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. A certified phlebotomist will visit your home or hotel in Dubai Healthcare City and surrounding areas.
