What is a Fever Profile for Malaria ?

The Fever Profile – Comprehensive Test is a diagnostic package designed to uncover the underlying causes of persistent fever. This test evaluates blood cell counts, liver function, and detects markers for infections such as malaria, dengue, typhoid, and chikungunya. Fever is a common symptom of various illnesses and can significantly impact overall health. Acute febrile illness (AFI) refers to a fever lasting less than two weeks and can be triggered by multiple pathogens.

By providing a thorough evaluation, it helps identify the specific cause of the fever and informs appropriate treatment, ensuring comprehensive care for patients.
