Rickettsia complement fixation assay

Rickettsia, which is pathogenic to humans, has been known to date for more than 20 species. It has been proven to have typhus, tsutsugamushi and Q fever in recent years, and Eric infection has also been found in recent years. After human infection with rickettsia, specific antibodies can be produced in serum, and serum antibodies can be detected by various serological tests to help diagnose rickettsial diseases. Basic Information Specialist classification: Infectious disease inspection and classification: pathogenic microorganism inspection Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: Do not wear clothes that are too small or too tight, so as to avoid the sleeves being too tight when blood is drawn or the sleeves are too tight after blood drawing, causing blood vessels in the arms. Normal value Normal value: < 1:40. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Rickettsia, which is pathogenic to humans, has been known to date for more than 20 species. It has been proven to have typhus, tsutsugamushi and Q fever in recent years, and Eric infection has also been found in recent years. After human infection with rickettsia, specific antibodies can be produced in serum, and serum antibodies can be detected by various serological tests to help diagnose rickettsial diseases. Need to check the crowd: people infected with the disease. High results may be diseases: Rickettsia, Q fever, typhus, tsutsugamushi precautions Inappropriate people: generally no special population. Taboo before the examination: It is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to write the correct name, neat and tidy, to avoid confusion caused by the same name or similar names. With these in mind, blood draws are more convenient and faster, and you can better save yourself time for diagnosis. Requirements for inspection: Do not wear clothes that are too small or too tight in cuffs to avoid the sleeves being too tight when blood is drawn or the sleeves are too tight after blood drawing, causing blood vessels in the arms. Different laboratory items should be asked by the doctor and treated differently. Inspection process First screening with low-dilute serum, and then using the early or late stage of the disease to double or 4-fold dilution to measure the titer, such as a 4 to 8 times increase can be clearly diagnosed. There are differences between strains of tsutsugamushi disease, and it can be checked at the same time by epidemic strains. Not suitable for the crowd Those who do not have an indication for examination should not do this check. Adverse reactions and risks 1, subcutaneous hemorrhage: due to pressing time less than 5 minutes or blood draw technology is not enough, etc. can cause subcutaneous bleeding. 2. Risk of infection: If you use an unclean needle, you may be at risk of infection.
