Comprehensive Fever Package in Delhi

72 parameters across 10 components: Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR (21 parameters, including haemoglobin, platelet count, haematocrit, the full white cell differential and the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination (5 findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a pathologist's written Impression), Kidney Function Test (12), Liver Function Test (12), Complete Urine Analysis (17), MALARIA ANTIGEN -EIA (1), Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid) (1), Dengue IgM (Rapid) (1), Dengue IgG (Rapid) (1) and Typhidot - Titre - Serum (IgG IgM By Card) (1). Sample is blood and urine from a single visit, no fasting is required, and digital reports arrive within 24 hours.

It starts from 1799 in Delhi, covering free home sample collection and digital reports with no additional charges at checkout. More than one household member can be added to the same visit. Book online or on WhatsApp.

Possibly, and the date of that earlier test is what decides it. If the test was a Dengue NS1 Antigen taken on day two or three, a negative can be a correct result for that day and still miss an infection, because NS1 may be below detection very early and fades from about day 5 as antibodies rise. Dengue IgM only appears around day 4 to day 5. This package carries NS1, IgM and IgG together, so it covers the later phase that a single early NS1 cannot. Tell us the date of the earlier test at booking and share it with your doctor.

The difference that matters is dengue coverage. The Advance Fever Package carries one dengue marker, Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid). This package carries three: Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid), Dengue IgM (Rapid) and Dengue IgG (Rapid), which between them span a wider stretch of the illness. Both include CBC with ESR, the Peripheral Smear, MALARIA ANTIGEN -EIA, Liver Function, Kidney Function and Complete Urine Analysis. They use different Typhidot formats — ELISA in the Advance package, the card/titre format here. Choose this one if you are past about day 5 of fever, or if you have had dengue before.

Because each one is informative at a different stage of the illness. Dengue NS1 Antigen detects a protein the virus itself produces and is detectable from roughly day 1 to day 7 of fever. Dengue IgM appears around day 4 to day 5 and indicates current or recent infection. Dengue IgG suggests past infection, or a secondary infection when it rises together with IgM. Running all three means a single sample can find dengue whether you present on day 2 or day 8, instead of only during the early febrile phase.

Any day, with this package — that is the point of carrying three markers. Dengue NS1 Antigen covers roughly day 1 to day 7. Dengue IgM appears around day 4 to day 5 and indicates current or recent infection. Dengue IgG indicates past infection, or secondary infection when it rises with IgM. A patient presenting on day 6 of fever may be NS1-negative and IgM-positive, which is why a package carrying NS1 alone can return a negative in someone who does have dengue.

On its own, Dengue IgG suggests you have been infected with dengue at some point in the past, because IgG antibodies persist for years. It is not evidence of current infection by itself. What makes it clinically useful is the combination: when IgG rises together with Dengue IgM, it points to a secondary dengue infection, meaning a repeat episode with a different serotype. That distinction matters, because second dengue infections carry a higher risk of severe disease and your doctor will monitor more closely.

Not with certainty. NS1 antigen can be negative very early and fades from around day 5; IgM may not be detectable before day 4 or 5. Running all three markers narrows that gap considerably, but no antigen or antibody test replaces clinical monitoring. Severity in dengue is judged on a falling platelet count, a rising haematocrit and warning signs such as abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding, drowsiness or reduced urine output. All three markers here are rapid methods, and your doctor may confirm an ambiguous result with an ELISA-based assay.

Typhidot detects IgM and IgG antibodies specific to Salmonella typhi, the organism that causes typhoid, and turns positive earlier in the illness than Widal without reacting across other Salmonella species. Widal (Slide Agglutination Test), used in the Basic Fever Package, cross-reacts with other Salmonella, stays positive after a past infection or typhoid vaccination, is frequently falsely positive in endemic areas, and classically needs paired samples 7 to 10 days apart before a result can be called with confidence. This package uses Typhidot - Titre - Serum (IgG IgM By Card); the Advance Fever Package uses the ELISA format.

No. Blood culture remains the reference standard for diagnosing typhoid, and it is not included in this package or in any of the HealthVas fever packages. Typhidot is a serological test — it detects your antibody response, not the bacterium itself. If your doctor needs certainty before starting or changing an antibiotic, ask for a blood culture, and have it drawn before the first antibiotic dose, because antibiotics taken beforehand sharply reduce the yield.

It is an enzyme immunoassay that detects malarial antigen — protein from the parasite — in your blood. It is paired here with the Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination, where the Hemoparasites finding looks for the parasite inside red blood cells directly, so the package approaches malaria two ways. One limitation: malarial antigen can remain detectable for some days after treatment has cleared the parasites, so a positive result soon after treatment should be read with that timing in mind.

A count is produced by an analyser; the Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination is produced by a qualified pathologist reading a slide cell by cell. Five findings are reported — Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. The platelet finding is the one that matters most here, because automated counters misread platelet clumping as a dangerously low count and falling platelets are the key monitoring parameter in dengue. The Hemoparasites finding also detects malarial parasites directly, and the red cell appearance explains the cause of an anaemia a count can only flag.

Many do not, including some priced higher. A Peripheral Smear cannot be automated — a qualified pathologist has to prepare and read each slide individually, so it is pathologist time rather than machine time, and it is usually the first line item dropped to hold a price point. When looking at fever packages with similar parameter counts, check the test list specifically for a Blood Picture or Peripheral Smear profile. It is included in all three HealthVas fever packages.

Because both dengue and typhoid commonly raise liver transaminases — SGOT and SGPT — and a doctor managing either illness wants to see how far they have moved and whether they are settling. The Kidney Function Test matters for a different reason: several days of fever with poor oral intake shifts urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium, and those values guide decisions about fluids. The Basic Fever Package includes neither profile.

No. No fasting is required for any component, including the Liver Function and Kidney Function tests. Eat and drink normally, and keep drinking water, because being hydrated while febrile makes the blood draw easier and produces a better urine sample. Paracetamol does not interfere with any of these tests. If you have been advised to avoid aspirin or NSAIDs because dengue is suspected, follow that advice; it relates to bleeding risk, not to the tests.

Yes. A repeat Complete Blood Count is booked as a separate collection, and a phlebotomist can return to the same address on a following day, which is usually easier than travelling daily during a continuing fever. This package itself is a single collection covering all 10 components. Falling platelets are the key monitoring parameter in dengue, so your doctor may ask for serial counts rather than relying on one reading.

Yes, free across Delhi including Dwarka, Vikaspuri, Uttam Nagar, Najafgarh, Rajouri Garden, Mayur Vihar, Preet Vihar, Laxmi Nagar, Dilshad Garden, Chattarpur, Jasola and New Friends Colony. A trained phlebotomist collects both the blood and the urine sample at your door, which avoids travelling while febrile and keeps a transmissible illness out of a shared waiting room. Samples travel to the laboratory in temperature-controlled conditions.

Digital reports arrive within 24 hours of sample collection. All 72 parameters come with reference ranges and flagged abnormal values, including the pathologist's written Impression on the Peripheral Smear. If platelet counts need to be tracked across days, your doctor may ask for a repeat Complete Blood Count, which can be booked separately.

Yes. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel. It is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold accreditation itself.

Yes. Add their details during booking, and more than one person can be collected in the same home visit. This is particularly useful for an elderly parent who finds travelling to a collection centre difficult. One caution: fever with breathlessness, persistent vomiting, bleeding, drowsiness or reduced urine output needs urgent in-person medical assessment, not a booked blood test.
