Agglutination of Anthrax

When a particulate antigen is mixed with its corresponding antiserum, the antigen aggregates into agglomerates of varying sizes in a certain concentration of electrolyte environment, called agglutination. Agglutination reactions are widely used in the diagnosis of diseases and in the analysis of various antigenic properties. That is, known immune sera can be used to detect unknown antigens, and specific antibodies can also be detected using known antigens. The agglutination reaction of anthrax is one of them. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: immunological examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: normal. Positive: Positive anthrax. The intensity is represented by "+~++++" in ++++2min, the cells are aggregated into large particles, and the liquid is transparent. Within +++2min, the cells are aggregated into larger particles and the liquid is transparent. Within ++2min, the cells are condensed into smaller particles and the liquid is slightly transparent. +2min part of the cells are aggregated into fine particles, and the liquid is turbid. -2min, no agglutination, or more than 2min to appear fine particles. Tips: Do not eat too greasy, high-protein foods the day before the blood draw, avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. Normal value negative. Clinical significance Positive anthrax. Strength is expressed as "+~++++" Within ++++2min, the cells are condensed into large particles and the liquid is transparent. Within +++2min, the cells are aggregated into larger particles and the liquid is transparent. Within ++2min, the cells are condensed into smaller particles and the liquid is slightly transparent. +2min part of the cells are aggregated into fine particles, and the liquid is turbid. -2min, no agglutination, or more than 2min to appear fine particles. Positive results may be diseases: anthrax, skin anthrax, lung anthrax precautions First, the precautions before blood draw 1, do not eat too greasy, high-protein food the day before the blood, to avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. 2. After 8 pm on the day before the medical examination, you should start fasting for 12 hours to avoid affecting the test results. Second, should pay attention after blood draw 1. After blood is drawn, local compression is required at the pinhole for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub, so as not to cause subcutaneous hematoma. 2, the pressing time should be sufficient. There is a difference in clotting time for each person, and some people need a little longer to clotting. Therefore, when the surface of the skin appears to be bleeding, the compression is stopped immediately, and the blood may be infiltrated into the skin due to incomplete hemostasis. Therefore, the compression time is longer to completely stop bleeding. If there is a tendency to bleed, the compression time should be extended. 3, after the blood draw symptoms of fainting such as: dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, etc. should immediately lie down, drink a small amount of syrup, and then undergo a physical examination after the symptoms are relieved. 4. If there is localized congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption. 3. When the diagnosis is anthrax, the patient should promptly inform the medical staff and actively cooperate with the medical and epidemic prevention personnel to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Inspection process After routine blood draw, immunological tests for bacterial infectious diseases are performed. Not suitable for the crowd There is no inappropriate crowd. Adverse reactions and risks It is a safe check and is harmless to the body.
