Blood for Microfileria Price in Bangladesh

What is Blood for Microfileria?

Blood for Microfilaria is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of microfilariae, the larval form of certain parasitic worms, such as those causing filariasis (e.g., Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi).

This test is important for diagnosing lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic infection transmitted by mosquitoes that can cause severe swelling, especially in the limbs. Blood is typically drawn at night (when microfilariae are most abundant in the bloodstream) and examined under a microscope for the presence of the larvae.

The procedure carries minimal risk, with possible mild discomfort or bruising at the blood collection site.

What to expect & how to prepare

Blood for Microfileria is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Blood for Microfileria result rather than self-diagnosing.
