Febrile Antigens Price in Bangladesh

What is Febrile Antigens?

Febrile antigens testing detects antibodies against specific pathogens causing febrile illnesses, such as Salmonella (typhoid), Brucella, and Proteus (Weil-Felix reaction). It helps diagnose infections like typhoid fever, brucellosis, and rickettsial diseases.

The test involves agglutination of antigens with the patient’s serum. Positive results indicate exposure to the pathogen, aiding in diagnosis and guiding treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

Febrile Antigens 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 Febrile Antigens result rather than self-diagnosing.
