Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced PCR-based test detects filarial parasite RNA qualitatively, confirming active lymphatic filariasis infection with unmatched precision. It is ideal for early diagnosis, post-treatment monitoring, and travel-related screening. The methodology uses Real-Time PCR (qPCR) for qualitative detection of Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori RNA from peripheral blood.
Test Comparison

|---|---|---|
| Precision | High – detects minute RNA levels | Moderate – operator-dependent |
| Method | Real-Time PCR (qPCR) | Microscopic identification of microfilariae |
| Speed | 36–48 hours (phone/email) | Same day but low sensitivity |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a General Practitioner, I emphasize the importance of early detection of filariasis through PCR. This test offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for timely treatment and prevention of lymphatic damage. Patients with a history of travel to endemic areas or unexplained lymphedema should consider this test. Always correlate results with clinical findings.”
