Advance Fever Package in Gurgaon

70 parameters across 8 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), MALARIA ANTIGEN -EIA (1), Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid) (1), Typhidot - Serum (IgG - IgM BY ELISA) (1), Kidney Function Test (12), Liver Function Test (12) and Complete Urine Analysis (17). Sample is blood and urine from a single visit, no fasting is required, and digital reports arrive within 12 hours.

It starts from 1199 in Gurgaon. That price includes free home sample collection and digital reports, with no additional charges at checkout. Book online or on WhatsApp.

The Basic Fever Package has 45 parameters across 5 components and contains no dengue test at all. The Advance Fever Package has 70 parameters across 8 components and adds Dengue NS1 Antigen (Rapid), replaces Widal with Typhidot - Serum (IgG - IgM BY ELISA), and adds the full Kidney Function Test (12 parameters) and Liver Function Test (12 parameters). Choose Basic if malaria, typhoid or a urinary infection are the likely causes. Choose Advance if you are in the first week of fever and dengue is a realistic possibility, or if your doctor wants liver and kidney function tracked.

NS1 is a non-structural protein that the dengue virus itself produces, so the test detects the virus rather than your immune response to it. That is why it works early: NS1 is detectable from roughly day 1 to day 7 of fever, the phase when antibody tests are usually still negative. A positive NS1 indicates current dengue infection. It is a rapid method, and your doctor interprets it alongside the platelet count and haematocrit from the Complete Blood Count.

It depends which dengue test. Dengue NS1 Antigen, included here, is detectable from roughly day 1 to day 7 of fever and is the test for the early febrile phase. Dengue IgM antibody appears around day 4 to day 5 and indicates current or recent infection. Dengue IgG suggests past infection, or secondary infection when it rises together with IgM. If your fever started within the last five days, NS1 is the right test. If you are on day 6 or later, you may be NS1-negative but IgM-positive — the Comprehensive Fever Package carries NS1, IgM and IgG together.

No. NS1 can be negative very early in the illness and it falls away as the body starts producing antibodies, usually from around day 5. A patient presenting on day 6 of fever may be NS1-negative while being IgM-positive, so a single negative NS1 does not exclude dengue. No antigen or antibody test replaces clinical monitoring either: falling platelet counts, a rising haematocrit and warning signs such as abdominal pain, persistent vomiting or bleeding are what guide treatment. Discuss a negative result with your doctor rather than treating it as reassurance.

Typhidot - Serum (IgG - IgM BY ELISA) detects IgM and IgG antibodies specific to Salmonella typhi, the organism that causes typhoid. It turns positive earlier in the illness than Widal and does not react 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 often falsely positive in endemic areas such as Delhi NCR, and classically needs paired samples drawn 7 to 10 days apart before a result can be called with confidence.

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 gives a rapid answer and does not depend on a pathologist spotting the parasite on a slide, which is why it is paired here with the Peripheral Smear, where the Hemoparasites finding looks for the parasite inside red blood cells directly. 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 in mind.

It is a manual microscopic examination of your blood by a qualified pathologist, who prepares a slide from your sample and reads it cell by cell. The profile reports five findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. It matters most in dengue because falling platelet counts are the key monitoring parameter, and automated analysers misread platelet clumping as a dangerously low count. A pathologist reviewing the slide catches that artefact before anyone acts on a false alarm. The Hemoparasites finding also detects malarial parasites directly.

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 comparing fever packages at a similar parameter count, 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 does not include either profile.

No. No fasting is required for any component, including the Liver Function and Kidney Function tests in this package. Eat and drink normally, and keep drinking water — being hydrated while febrile makes the blood draw easier and produces a better urine sample. Paracetamol does not interfere with any of these tests.

Yes, free across Gurgaon including Sector 14, 29, 38, 42, 44, 46, 49, 54, 55, 56, 57, Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension, Sohna Road, DLF Phase 1 to 5, Udyog Vihar, Manesar, Palam Vihar, South City and Nirvana Country. 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 12 hours of sample collection, rather than the 24-hour turnaround on our full body checkup packages, because treatment decisions in fever cannot wait a day. All 70 parameters come with reference ranges and flagged abnormal values, including the pathologist's written Impression on the Peripheral Smear.

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. Home collection is particularly useful for a febrile patient of any age and for elderly parents who find 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.
